Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

Point A = (0, 21)
Point B = (1, 3)

In order to find the answer, we simply use the process of elimination and plot all the following functions in till we have our answer.

Option A:


7((1)/(3) )^x
After plotting the function, you will see that it does not in fact intercept at point B or (1, 3).

Option B:

7((1)/(21) )^x
After plotting the function, you will see that once again, it does not intercept at point B.

Option C:

21((1)/(7) )^x
After plotting the given function, you will see that not only does the line intercept at Point B or (1, 3), but it also intercepts at Point A or (0, 21)

Which means your answer is indeed option C.

Hope this helps.
