Are you sure it's not f(x) = a(b^x) because anything to the power of 0 equals one and ax1 will always be a. if the equation is just f(x) = a(bx) then the initial value shouldn't be a because x = 0

When you substitute 0 for the exponent x, the expression simplifies to a times 1, which is just a. This is because any number to the 0 power equals 1. Since the initial value is the value of the function for an input of 0, the initial value for any function of this form will always be the value of a.

When you divide a whole number by a decimal less than 1, the quotient is greater than the whole number. why?
Viktor [21]
Well if you get back to the definition of a division, diving X by Y is finding out how many Ys you can have in a X.

It is clear that you will have more than X times Y if Y is less than 1 since dividing X by 1 is exactly X.

If you think of 10 and 1, you can divide 10 in exactly 10 portions of 1.
But you can divide it into 100 portions of 0,1.
And 100 is bigger than 10 of course.
Hope this helps.

18 x 40 = 720 per week.....720 x 4 = 2880 per month earnings

net pay = 0.72(2880) = 2073.60 <=== cash inflow.

how much he spends per month is his cash outflow.
