Find the equation for the exponential function (y = ab) that passes through the points (2, 18) and (5, 486) You can assume the horizontal asymptote is at y = 0 (there is not up/down shift so you can use the new method I showed if you prefer that).
O y = 2(3)^x
O y = 3(2)^x
O y = 2/3(5.2)^x
O y = 6(3)^x

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.

n
