Respuesta :

B since it is on the x-intercept at 0 then is shown on the y-intercelt at 4.The answer has both of these numbers.

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, notice that the graph is NOT a straight line.  That means we should have written f(t) = 4*2^t instead of f(t) = 4*2t.

In words:  the value of this coin is 4 units at time t=0 and grows exponentially with time.  

This is an exponential function.  The y-intercept is obtained by letting t = 0 and evaluating f(0) = 4*2^0.  This is equal to 4*1, or just 4.  Once again, the y-intercept represents the initial value of the coin.
