An exponential function passes through the points (0, 90) and (2, 129.6). Which model represents the function?

18. An exponential function passes through the points (0, 90) and (2, 129.6). Which model represents the function?
a. f(x) = 90(1.20)^x
b. f(x) = 90(0.80)^x
c. f(x) = 90(1.44)^x
d. f(x) = 129.6(1.20)^x

Answer

a. f(x) = 90(1.20)^x

To find the correct model, we use the point (0, 90) to determine the initial value, which is 90. Then, using the point (2, 129.6), we solve for the growth factor:

129.6 = 90 * r^2

r^2 = 129.6 / 90

r^2 = 1.44

r = sqrt(1.44) = 1.2

Thus, the function is f(x) = 90(1.20)^x.
