A concave-up, increasing curve is plotted on a coordinate plane where the x-axis ranges from negative 2 to 4 in increments of 2 and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 20 in increments of 5. The curve passes through 3 marked points.

Since the curve is concave-up and increasing, it is likely representing exponential growth.
To find the exponential growth equation, we need to find the exponential expression that fits the curve passing through the three marked points.
Let's label the three points as (x1, y1), (x2, y2), and (x3, y3).
From the given information, we know that the x-axis ranges from negative 2 to 4 in increments of 2, and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 20 in increments of 5. Therefore, the marked points must have x-values of -2, 0, and 2.
Let's use the first marked point (-2, y1):
y1 = (x1)
Substituting the x-value with -2:
y1 = (-2)
Since we don't have the y-value for this point, we can't determine the equation yet.
Let's use the second marked point (0, y2):
y2 = (x2)
Substituting the x-value with 0:
y2 = (0)
Again, we don't have the y-value for this point, so we still can't determine the equation.
Finally, let's use the third marked point (2, y3):
y3 = (x3)
Substituting the x-value with 2:
y3 = (2)
Once again, we don't have the y-value for this point, so we can't determine the equation yet.
Since we don't have the y-values for any of the marked points, we can't fill in the missing elements of the exponential growth equation. Additional information is needed, such as the actual y-values for the marked points, in order to determine the equation.
