Answer:
y = 3(2)^x
Explanation:
If we look at the x and y values, we see that the xs' increase by 1 each time, while the ys' double (12*2 = 24, 24 *2 = 48 etc.).
Because the value doubles each time, we know that this is an exponential equation, and the base (b) is 2.
The general form (as shown) is y = a(b)^x, where a is the initial value (y-intercept or value of y when x = 0) and b is the base.
We can find a by plugging in one x and y coordinate and 2.
For example, we can use (1, 6) to solve for a:
