Verified Answer :

The answer you are looking for is C. Hope this helps!

we have the function

\(f(x)=20(\frac{1}{4})^{x}\)

we know that

In the equation of the exponential function of the form

\(f(x)=a(b)^{x}\)

a is the initial value

b is the base

x is the exponent

The initial value is the value of the function when the value of x is equal to zero

in this problem

for \(x=0\)

\(f(0)=20(\frac{1}{4})^{0}\)

\(f(0)=20(1)=20\)

the initial value is the point \((0,20)\)

therefore

the answer in the attached figure
