The graph of an exponential function is given. which of the following is the correct equation of the function? (5 points)

Option 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions usually have the following form:

Where a and b are real numbers.

b is the coefficient and a is the base. The variable x is the exponent.

In all the options shown, the coefficient is b = 1.

Since the graph of the function has a value close to 10 when x = 2. Then we can discard the options in which the basis of the function is less than 1.

Then we have two options left:

When

When

Notice in the graph that function 3) is greater than 6 when x = 2, while function 1) is close to 12 when x = 2.

Therefore the correct option is the first option.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
