To determine the equation of the
exponential function that fits the given graph, we can analyze any two points
provided. We can use the points (0, 1) and (-1, 3) from the graph.
The general form of an exponential function
is , where a is the initial value and b is the base.
For the point (0, 1)
Substitute x = 0 and y = 1 into the
equation
For the point (-1, 3)
Substitute x = -1, y = 3 and a = 1 into the
equation
