Answer:
y = 4. [tex]3^{x}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For an exponential function in the form
y = a[tex]b^{x}[/tex]
Use ordered pairs from the table to find a and b
Using (0, 4 ), then
4 = a [tex]b^{0}[/tex] ( note [tex]b^{0}[/tex] = 1 ), thus
a = 4
y = 4 [tex]b^{x}[/tex]
Using (1, 12 ), then
12 = 4 [tex]b^{1}[/tex] = 4b ( divide both sides by 4 )
b = 3
Thus
y = 4 . [tex]3^{x}[/tex] ← exponential equation
