Look at this table:
x y
1 3.6
2 7.2
3 14.4
4 28.8
5 57.6
Write a linear function (y=mx+b) or an exponential function (y=a(b)x) that models the data.
y=
This table seems to show an exponential growth pattern, as the values of y are increasing at a multiplication rate of 2. For each value of x, y is double the previous value.
Therefore, we can write the exponential function that models this data as:
y = 3.6 * (2)^x
