Choice B is correct. Each of the given choices is an equation of the form f(x) = a(b)x-k , where a, b, and k are constants. For an equation of this form, the coefficient, a, is equal to the value of the function when the exponent is equal to 0, or when x = k. It follows that in the equation f(x) = 33(1.5)x , the coefficient, 33, is equal to the value of f(0). Substituting 0 for x in this equation yields f(0) = 33(1.5)0 , which is equivalent to f(0) = 33(1), or f(0) = 33. Thus, the value of c is 33 and the equation f(x) = 33(1.5)x shows the value of c as the coefficient.
Choice A is incorrect. This equation shows the value of f(-1), not f(0), as the coefficient. Choice C is incorrect. This equation shows the value of f(1), not f(0), as the coefficient. Choice D is incorrect. This equation shows the value of f(2), not f(0), as the coefficient.
