THIS IS EXPONENTIAL FROM TWO POINTS

If f(x) is an exponential function where f(3.5)=21 and f(6.5)=69, then find the value of f(9), to the nearest hundredth.​

Answer:

i think the answer is 144

Explanation:

ohhh so first we should try finding the slope here. since we know the points are (3.5 , 21) and (6.5, 69) we can use the formula to look for the slope

the formula is:

y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

lets substitute

69 - 21 / 6.5 - 3.5

48 / 3

16

f(x) = 16x + b

now we just substitute

btw i dont think we need to find b because this inst a linear equation? im not sure but yea i dont think we need to find the y-intercept

so anyways

f(9) = 16(9)

= 144
