Question

Find the exponential function in the form y=a*b^x that passes through the point (0,10) and (3,80).

Answer 1

`{\Large \begin{array}{llll} y = ab^x \end{array}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} x=0\\ y = 10 \end{cases}\implies 10=ab^0\implies 10=a(1)\implies 10=a~\hfill \underline{y = 10b^x} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \begin{cases} x = 3\\ y = 80 \end{cases}\implies 80=10b^3\implies \cfrac{80}{10}=b^3\implies 8=b^3 \\\\\\ \sqrt[3]{8}=b\implies 2=b~\hfill \underline{y = 10(2)^x}`
