Q. 1. Find the equation of the exponential given (0,1) and (−1,3)
Identify General Form: Identify the general form of an exponential function.General form: y=abx
Find 'a' Using Point: Use the point (0,1) to find 'a'.Substitute x=0 and y=1 into the equation:1=ab0Since b0=1 for any b=0,1=a⋅1a=1
Substitute 'a' and Use Point: Substitute 'a' back into the equation and use the point (−1,3).With a=1, the equation simplifies to y=bx.Substitute x=−1 and y=3:3=b−1b−1=3b=31
