Answer:
y = 3^(1 + x)
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that each time x increases by 1, y increases by a factor of 3.
Thus, the required equation has the form y = 3^x.
Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? No. Therefore we must modify the exponent:
y = 3^(1 + x)
Check: If x = 0, do we get 3? 3^(1 + 0) = 3 (correct)
If x = 2, do we get 27? 3(1 + 2) = 3^3 + 27 (correct)
