Hello!
[tex]\large\boxed{y = 13(2)^x}}[/tex]
y = abˣ
We know that at x = 0, b = 1 because any number to the power of 0 = 1.
Therefore:
13 = a(1)
13 = a
Now, plug in this value to solve for b:
y = 13bˣ
Substitute in the next point:
416 = 13(b)⁵
Divide both sides by 13:
32 = b⁵
Take the 5th root of both sides:
2 = b
Rewrite:
y = 13(2)ˣ
