Does the table represent an expotential function?:

X:1 2 3 4
Y:3 9 27 81
I says yes.
Is that correct?

correct

To determine whether a table represents an exponential function, we need to check if there is a common ratio between the y-values (output) for each successive x-value (input).

Let's check the ratios:

For x = 1 to x = 2: 9/3 = 3
For x = 2 to x = 3: 27/9 = 3
For x = 3 to x = 4: 81/27 = 3

Since the ratio between the y-values is constant (3 in this case), the given table does represent an exponential function.

So, the statement is correct.

To determine if the table represents an exponential function, we need to check if there is a constant ratio between the outputs (Y-values) for each corresponding input (X-value).

In this case, let's calculate the ratios:

Ratio between Y-values for X=1 and X=2: 9/3 = 3
Ratio between Y-values for X=2 and X=3: 27/9 = 3
Ratio between Y-values for X=3 and X=4: 81/27 = 3

Since the ratio between the Y-values is constant and equal to 3 for each X-value pair, we can conclude that the table represents an exponential function.

So, the answer is yes, the table represents an exponential function.
