Answer:
y = 4(2^x)
Step-by-step explanation:
To write the exponential values, compare the y values. Notice they are multiples of 8 and they are increasing. This means the base is likely 2 or 4 since each of these numbers has the same multiples. Our options also only include base 2 and 4.
Try 4^1 = 4 and 4^4 = 256.
Try 2^1 = 2 and 2^4 = 16.
None of these give the exact values in the points. This means there is an initial value multiplied to them as well.
When x = 1 and the base is 4, the value is too small. But when x = 4, the value is too large. This cannot be reconciled.
When x = 1 and x = 4 for the base 2, both values are too small and could be multiplied by the same number to get the right values.
2*4 = 8
16*4 = 64
The initial value is 4 so the function is
