Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^xy=ab
x
that goes through points (0, 18)(0,18) and (2, 288)(2,288).

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]y = 18*4^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We want an exponential equation in the following format:

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

Point (0,18):

This means that when [tex]x = 0, y = 0[/tex]. So

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

[tex]18 = ab^0[/tex]

[tex]a = 18[/tex]

So

[tex]y = 18b^x[/tex]

Point (2,288):

This means that when [tex]x = 2, y = 288[/tex]. So

[tex]y = 18b^x[/tex]

[tex]18b^2 = 288[/tex]

[tex]b^2 = \frac{288}{18}[/tex]

[tex]b^2 = 16[/tex]

[tex]b = 4[/tex].

So

[tex]y = 18*4^x[/tex]
