From the given graph we get that the graph of the function passes through (0,1) and (1,2), therefore we can set the following system of equations:


\begin{gathered} 1=a\cdot b^0=a, \\ 2=a\cdot b^1=ab\text{.} \end{gathered}

Substituting the first equation in the second one we get:


\begin{gathered} 2=1\cdot b, \\ b=2. \end{gathered}

Therefore, the exponential function that is represented by the given graph is:


y=1\cdot2^x.

Answer: Option a.
