Practice makes perfect
a We want to write an exponential function for the graph that passes through the given points. Let's consider the general form for this type of function.
y=abx
Since we want the points to lie on the graph, they must satisfy this equation.
After substituting both points into the above formula, we obtain a system of equations.
