Write an exponential function in the form y=ab^x that goes through points (0, 18) and (2, 288)

y = abx

Point (1, 4): 4 = ab

Point (3, 16): 16 = ab^3

From 4=ab we have a = 4/b

Substitute into 2nd equation

16 = (4/b)b^3

16 = 4b^2

4 = b^2

2 = b

a = 4/b = 4/2 = 2

An exponential function that fits is: y = 2(2^x)

check: x=1; y = 2(21) = 4 ... point (1, 4)

x=3: y = 2(23) = 2(8) = 16 ... point (3, 16)

may i have the brainliest if you give it to me ill answer the question

the formula for the equation of a circle is (x – h)2+ (y – k)2 = r2, where (h, k) represents the coordinates of the center of the circle, and r represents the radius of the circle. if a circle is tangent to the x-axis at (3,0), this means it touches the x-axis at that point.

my answer was deleted because it was to vague the answer is 12.76 becuase its in the hundreths place. john
