Given:
f(x) is an exponential function.
To find:
The value of f(6.5).
Solution:
Let the exponential function is
...(i)
Where, a is the initial value and b is the growth factor.
We have, . So, put x=-3.5 and f(x)=25 in (i).
...(ii)
We have, . So, put x=6 and f(x)=33 in (i).
...(iii)
On dividing (iii) by (ii), we get
Putting b=1.03 in (iii), we get
Putting a=27.63 and b=1.03 in (i), we get
Therefore, the required exponential function is .
