Given the following table that gives data from a linear function:
![\begin {tabular} {|c|c|c|c|} Temperature, $y = f(x)$ (^\circ C)&0&5&20 \\ [1ex] Temperature, $x$ (^\circ F)&32&41&68 \\ \end {tabular}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%20%7Btabular%7D%0A%7B%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7Cc%7C%7D%0ATemperature%2C%20%24y%20%3D%20f%28x%29%24%20%28%5E%5Ccirc%20C%29%260%265%2620%20%5C%5C%20%5B1ex%5D%0ATemperature%2C%20%24x%24%20%28%5E%5Ccirc%20F%29%2632%2641%2668%20%5C%5C%20%0A%5Cend%20%7Btabular%7D)
The formular for the function can be obtained by choosing two points from the table and using the formular for the equation of a straight line.
Recall that the equation of a straight line is given by
Using the points (32, 0) and (41, 5), we have:

Given:
The graph of an exponential function.
To find:
The exponential growth factor as x increases by 1 unit.
Solution:
From the given graph, it is clear that the exponential function passes through the points (1,1) and (3,9). So, the equation of the exponential must must be satisfy by these points.
The general exponential function is:
...(i)
Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.
Putting in (i), we get
...(ii)
Putting in (i), we get
...(iii)
Divide (iii) by (ii).
b is the the growth factor and the value of b is 3.
Therefore, the exponential growth factor is 3 as x increases by 1 unit.
