Question

Write an exponential function that passes through the points:

1. (0,8),(1,12)

2. (0,3), (5, 16)

Answer 1

If you have two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), you can define the exponential function that passes through these points by substituting them in the equation y = abx and solving for a and b. In general, you have to solve this pair of equations: y1 = abx1 and y2 = abx2, .
