Question

Use the information from the graphs to write the equation in y=ab*^x

Answer 1

1). y = 4(1.75)ˣ

2). y = (2)ˣ

Explanation:

1). Let the equation of the given exponential graph is,

y = a(b)ˣ

Graph of the given equation passes through two points (0, 4) and (0+1, 4+3)

For point (0, 4),

4 = a(b)⁰

a = 4

For point (1, 7),

7 = 4(b)¹

b =
`(7)/(4)`

b = 1.75

Therefore, equation of the function is,

y = 4(1.75)ˣ

2). Similarly, equation of the second graph will be same in the form of

y = a(b)ˣ

Second graph passes through the points (0, 1) and (2, 4)

For (0, 1),

1 = a(b)⁰

a = 1

For (2, 4),

4 = 1(b)²

b = 2

Therefore, exponential function representing the graph will be,

y = 1(2)ˣ

y = 2ˣ
