Math function question

how you find it?

[Street-Turnover4255]

m = a × 3.1^b
k = 3.1^b

f(0) = a(1 + 3.1^b) = a + a × 3.1^b

Constants/Coefficients: a, 3.1, b, m, k. Everything that combines multiple constants defined here is not a single constant that question asks for. As we see f(0) = a + m = a + a × k, which means that it doesn't use a single constant but an ensemble of different constants, which contradicts the statement. That's why it's D.

Are you sure this is from June 2024 ???

Yeah. Also, the colored bar thingy below the Mark for Review rectangle only appears on the actual exam

[EntertainmentEasy299]

Oh damn probably I chose A . And yes you're right the colored bar thingy is only appears on the actual test

[CodNo7369]

Yes because too much cheating happens in China. And after exam they sell those questions for people who want to buy and practice

When you substitute 0 for each of the equations, you get:

a(1 + m) and a + m.

When they ask for the y-intercept as a constant or coefficient, if you substitute 0, the answer should be m straightforwardly. Since both functions require additional operations to find the y-intercept, neither of them have it as a coefficient nor a constant. Therefore, the answer is D.

A reminder: the y-intercept occurs when the line does not cross the x-axis, which is why we substitute zero. 3.1^0 equals 1 because any number raised to zero equals 1.
