The significance of "a" in exponential function

An exponential function is represented as:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

In the above equation, parameter "a" is the initial value of the function

In other words, the value of the function when x = 0

Take for instance;

[tex]y = 2*4^x[/tex]

[tex]a = 2[/tex] because when [tex]x = 0[/tex]

[tex]y = 2 * 4^0[/tex]

[tex]y = 2 * 1[/tex]

[tex]y = 2[/tex]

Another significance of parameter a is that; it is the y-intercept of the geometric function.
