Choose the equation that represents an exponential function that passes through the point (2, 36).

A. f(x) = 4(3)x
B. f(x) = 4(x)3
C. f(x) = 6(3)x
D. f(x) = 6(x)3

Respuesta :

Since we were given only one point, we have to test each exponential function for the point [tex](2,36).[/tex]

Since exponential functions are of the form [tex]y=n(a)^{kx}[/tex], The correct option is between option A and option C.

For option A,

[tex]f(x)=4(3)^{x}[/tex]

On substitution, we have;

[tex]36=4(3)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 36=4\times 9[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 36=36[/tex].

Since the point satisfied the exponential function [tex]f(x)=4(3)^{x}[/tex], the exponential function goes through it.

Hence the correct answer is option A.

No need to test for option C again.

a is right
