Answer:

B)

Explanation:

exponential function given by:


\displaystyle f(x )= a \cdot{b}^(x)

where:

  • a is the y-intercept
  • b can be any number

since the function crosses y-axis at (0,4) point


  • a = 4

to find a we can consider (1,8) point it tells us when x is 1 then y is 8 thus:


\displaystyle 8= 4 \cdot{b}^(1)


\displaystyle 8= 4 \cdot{b}^{}

divide both sides by 4:


\displaystyle \boxed{b = 2}

altogether substitute:


\displaystyle f(x)= 4 \cdot{2}^(x)

hence our answer is B)
