Answer:

f(x) = 8·1.25^x

Explanation:

An exponential function has the form ...

... f(x) = a·b^x

Then f(0) = a. Your graph shows f(0) = 8.

The base "b" can be found from any other point on the graph. You have marked the point (1, 10), so we can find "b" from ...

... f(1) = 10 = 8·b^1 = 8b

... 10/8 = b = 1.25 . . . . . . . divide by the coeffiicient of b

Now, we know the exponential function is ...

... f(x) = 8·1.25^x
