I need algebra help.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table given in the question,

x            y              Difference                  Ratio

1            12                     -                             -

2           36              36-12 = 24              

3          108            108-36 = 72            

4          324            324-108 = 216        

5          972            972-324 = 648      

There is a common ratio of 3 in each successive term.

Therefore, data given in the table will represent an exponential function.

For a point

------(1)

For another point of the table ,

--------(2)

Equation (2) divided by equation (1)

From equation (1),

Therefore, exponential function will be,

after simplifying it i got: -36.25 as my answer. hope that !
