Answer: 909.03

Explanation:

We know that the equation is an exponential function, it can be written as y=ab^x


100 &=a b^(6.5) \dots \mathrm{Equation \ 1} \\11 &= a b^(1) \\


\Rightarrow ab^1=11


\Rightarrow (ab^1)/(b)=(11)/(b);\quad \:b\\e \:0


\Rightarrow a=(11)/(b)

a = 11/b, substitute it in equation 1


100 &=a b^(6.5)


\Rightarrow 100=\left((11)/(b)\right)b^(6.5)


\Rightarrow 100b=11b^(11)/(2)


\Rightarrow 11\sqrt{b^(11) } =100b


\Rightarrow \sqrt{b^(11) } =(100)/(11)}


\Rightarrow \sqrt{b^(11) } =(100)/(11)}


\Rightarrow {b^(11) } =(10000)/(121)}


\Rightarrow {b} =\frac{\sqrt[11]{10000 \cdot 11^9} }{11}


\Rightarrow {b} = 1.49379

a = 11/b

a = 11/(1.49379)

a = 7.36382

Equation: y = (7.36382)(1.49379)^x

Now plug in 12 for x:

\Rightarrow { \left(7.36382\right)\left(1.49379\right)^(12)


\Rightarrow 7.36382\cdot \:1.49379^(12)


\Rightarrow 7.36382\cdot \:123.44530\dots


\Rightarrow 909.03

Therefore, f(12) = 909.03 for the exponential function
