Question

Can someone please explain this question

Answer 1

So the answer is 15

Answer 2

Sure thing!

So if we look at the function, it is an exponential, meaning that it is a number to the power of x
The graph can be described by the equation

y = a^x

If we look at the graph, one of the points on the line is (2, 16), the x value is 2 and the y value is 16

If we consider this along with the function for the graph, we can say that

16 = a^2

Just solve this for a and you’ll have your answer :)
