Answer:

3. y = 3·4^x

4. y = 24·0.5^x

5. y = 45·0.9^x

Explanation:

Each table appears to represent an exponential function. Such a function can be written in the form ...

y = a·b^x

where 'a' is the value of y when x=0, and 'b' is the ratio of the values of y when x=1 and x=0.

__

3. a = 3. b = 12/3 = 4

y = 3·4^x

__

4. a = 24. b = 12/24 = 0.5

y = 24·0.5^x

__

5. a = 45. b = 40.5/45 = 0.9

y = 45·0.9^x
