Final answer:

To find an exponential function, identify the base and exponent. The general form is y = a * b^x, where 'a' is the initial value, 'b' is the base, and 'x' is the exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an exponential function, we need to identify the base and the exponent. The general form of an exponential function is y = a * b^x, where 'a' is the initial value, 'b' is the base, and 'x' is the exponent. For example, the exponential function y = 2^x represents exponential growth with a base of 2. It means that each time 'x' increases by 1, the value of 'y' doubles.

\huge\mathbb{ \underline{SOLUTION :}}

Given:


  • \bold{y=Ce^(kt)}


  • \bold{(5,5)}


  • \bold{(0, (6)/(7) )}


\small\leadsto\bold{Substitute:}


\longrightarrow\sf{ (6)/(7)= Ce^(k*0)}


\longrightarrow\sf{(6)/(7)= C*e^0}


\longrightarrow\sf{e^0=1}


\therefore\sf{C= (6)/(7) }


\therefore\sf{5=Ce^(k*5)}


\\


\bold{Solve \: to \: find \: k:}


\longrightarrow\sf{5 = (6)/(7) *e^(k5)}


\longrightarrow\sf{ (7*5)/(6) *e^(5k)}


\longrightarrow\sf{In=( (35)/(6) ) = 5k}


\longrightarrow\sf{1.76=5k}


\longrightarrow\sf{k=(1.76)/(5) = 0.352}


\huge \mathbb{ \underline{ANSWER:}}


\large\sf{\boxed{\sf (6)/(7)= e^(0.352*t)}}
