Q. Write an exponential function in the form y=abx that goes through the points (0,7) and (3,3584).Answer:
Find a Value: We need to find the values of a and b in the exponential function y=ab(x) that satisfy the given points (0,7) and (3,3584). Using the first point (0,7), we substitute x=0 and y=7 into the equation to find the value of a. y=ab(x)b0 Since any number raised to the power of b1 is b2, we have: b3 Therefore, b4.
Solve for b: Now we use the second point (3,3584) and the value of a we just found to solve for b. Substituting x=3, y=3584, and a=7 into the equation, we get: 3584=7b3 To find b, we divide both sides by 7: b3=73584b3=512 To find b, we take the cube root of both sides: b=51231b=8
Final Exponential Function: We now have both values a and b. The exponential function that goes through the points (0,7) and (3,3584) is:y=7⋅8xThis is the final answer.
