Answer:


y=0.01(3)^x

Step-by-step explanation:

An exponential function is a function of the form:


y=ab^x

When x=0 and y=0.01


\begin{gathered} y=ab^x \\ \implies0.01=ab^0 \\ \implies a=0.01 \end{gathered}

When x=1, y=0.03 and a=0.01:


\begin{gathered} y=ab^x \\ 0.03=0.01(b)^1 \\ b=(0.03)/(0.01) \\ b=3 \end{gathered}

Thus, the equation of the exponential function is:


y=0.01(3)^x
