Answer:

f(x)=40(2.25)^x

Explanation:

You want the equation of the exponential function that goes through points (0, 40) and (1, 90).

Exponential function

The exponential function can be written ...

f(x) = a·b^x

Parameters

When x = 0, this is ...

f(0) = a·b^0 = a·1 = a

Using the given point, we have a = 40.

When x = 1, this is ...

f(1) = 40·b^1 = 40b

Using the given point, we have ...

90 = 40b

b = 90/40 = 2.25

The function equation is ...

f(x) = 40(2.25^x)
