Question

Turn the written information into a equation (exponential function):

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

common ratio is usually used for geometric sequences.

every term is created by multiplying the previous term by a certain constant factor (= common ratio).

this factor or common ratio is in our case 4.

such a sequence is a function f(x) for x being whole numbers.

a0 = 1

a1 = a0×4 = 1×4 = 4

a2 = a1×4 = 4×4 = 16

...

an = 4^n

as general function that is then

f(x) = 4^x

a horizontal shift right by 6 units means that now the functional value of x is the same as it was for (x-6) before the shift.

e.g. f_new(6) = f_old(0)

so, the function is

f(x) = 4^(x - 6) or (4^x)/4⁶
