I couldn't get the whole thing in so I'm typing it two athletes are training over a two-weem period to increase the number of pish-ups each can do consecutively. Athlete A can can do 16 push-ups to start, and increases his total by 2 each day. Athlete B's progress is charted in the table. compare the initial values for each. what does the initial value mean in this situation?

Athlete A's initial value is greater than athlete B's initial value.

The initial value is the amount of push-ups each athlete could do before they began their training.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial value of athlete A is 16.

To find the initial value of athlete A, look at the table and find the value of the output when the input equals 0. In this case, the initial value is 12.

16 is greater than 12, so athlete A's initial value is greater than athlete B's initial value.
