Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.

Taking,

x = number of people,

y = pounds of turkey.

This condition can be represented as,

$\Rightarrow y\ \alpha \ x\\\Rightarrow y=kx$

As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3

$\Rightarrow 3=k\times 6$

$\Rightarrow k=\frac{3}{6}= \frac{1}{2}$

Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}x$

Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.

All the calculations are shown in the attached table.

Exponential growth functions are the functions that normally take the form
y=ab^x
where:
a=initial value
b=growth rate
x=time
An example of situation that takes this form is the population growth of a particular group say and organism.
