Answer:

f(x) = 4\times (3)^{x}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential functions are in the form f(x) = a\, \left(b^{x}\right),  where a and b are constants with b > 0.

In this question, the function should satisfy that f(2) = 36 and f(3) = 108. Hence, constants a and b should ensure that:

a \cdot b^2 = f(2) = 36, and

a \cdot b^3 = 108.

Rewrite the left-hand side of the second equation: a \cdot b^{3} = a \cdot b^2 \cdot b.

Substitute the first equation a \cdot b^{2} = 36 into the second:

a \cdot b^2 \cdot b = 108.

36\, b = 108.

\displaystyle b = \frac{108}{36} = 3.

Substitute b = 3 into either equation (for example, the first equation) and solve for a:

a \cdot 3^2 = 36.

a = 4.

Hence, the exponential function f(x) = a\cdot b^{x} = 4 \times (3)^{x} should satisfy the requirements of this question.
