Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The blanks you're to fill in explain the steps.
The y-intercept is the value of the function when x=0. It is where the graph crosses the y-axis.
f(0) = a·b^0 = a·1 = a
Reading the y-intercept from the graph, we see ...
The y-intercept is 3. The a-value of the function is 3.
__
The point when x=1 is ...
f(1) = a·b^1 = 3b
Reading the value from the graph, we find the point to be (1, 6). This means ...
3b = 6
b = 2 . . . . . . . divide both sides by 3
The point when x=1 is (1, 6). The b-value of the function is 2.
The equation of the function is f(x) = 3·2^x.
