Answer:
f(x) = 2(1/3)^x
Explanation:
To find the parameters of this exponential equation, follow the instructions given in the hint.
__
b = 6/18 = 1/3 . . . . . divide 6 by 18 to find 'b'
18 = a(1/3)^-2 . . . . . substitute a point and 'b' in the equation
18(1/3)^2 = a = 2 . . . . multiply by (1/3)^2
The equation is ...
f(x) = ab^x
f(x) = 2(1/3)^x
