Answer:

A general exponential equation is written as:

f(x) = A*(r)^x

Where:

A is the initial value, this is the value that the function takes when x = 0.

r is the rate of growth

x is the variable.

In this case, the function is:

f(x) = 2*(4)^x

The initial value is:

f(0) = 2*(4)^0 = 2*1 = 2

The initial value is 2.

And the rate of growth is 4.

So Martin seems to mixed these two values (he said initial value = 4, and rate  = 2, which is the opposite of what we found)
