What would the exponential equation be ?

The equation of the exponential function will be:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

Day         Bacteria

1               3

2              6

3              12

4              24

5              48

as

and

so it is indeed an exponential function

As we know that the exponential function is of the form

As we know that the y-intercept of is (0, a).

so

       ∵ common ratio = successor y-value ÷ previos y-value

so the value of a will be: 3/2

We also know that the common factor i.e. multiplier is 2 in this table, we know the value for b is 2.

Therefore, the equation of the exponential function will be:

a; x = 0.5

step-by-step explanation:

-10x = -5

x = 0.5
