Question

When x increases from a to a + 2, y increases by a factor of 16.

Answer 1

The answer is A) y=2(4)x

Answer 2

Answer:

Correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given x increases from a to a + 2, y increases by a factor of 16.

we have to find the function for which the above statement is true.

Option A: $y = 2(4)^x$

$f(x)=2(4)^x$

⇒ $f(a)=2(4)^a$

⇒ $f(a+2)=2(4)^{a+2}$

⇒ $f(a+2)=2(4^2)4^a$

⇒ $f(a+2)=16f(a)$

⇒ When x increases from a to a + 2, y increases by a factor of 16.

Hence, option A is correct.
