look at this table:

x
-1, 0,1, 2, 3

y
-2, -4, -8, -16, -32

write a linear function (y=mx+b) or an exponential function (y=a(b)^) that models the data.

y=

y = -2(2)^x

is this right?

I apologize for the error in my previous response. The correct function that models the data is an exponential function.

The function that models the data is:

y = -2(2)^x

are you sure?

I apologize for the confusion in my previous responses. I made an error in interpreting the data. Let's reevaluate the data and find the correct function.

Given data:
x: -1, 0, 1, 2, 3
y: -2, -4, -8, -16, -32

Looking at the data, we can see that each y value is being multiplied by -2 to get the next y value. This relationship suggests an exponential decay pattern. The correct exponential function to model this data is:

y = -2(-2)^x

This function represents an exponential decay pattern where each y value is multiplied by -2 to get the next value for each step in the x values provided in the data.

Thank you for your patience, and I hope this clarifies the correct function.
