Answer:

  • y = 3/4*4ˣ

Explanation:

The function is:

  • y = abˣ

Substitute the values from the given points and solve for b:

  • 48 = ab³
  • 768 = ab⁵

Divide the second equation by the first one:

  • 768/48 = ab⁵/ab³
  • b² = 16
  • b = 4

Find a using the first equation:

  • 48 = a*4³
  • a = 48/64
  • a = 3/4

The function is:

  • y = 3/4*4ˣ
