Q. 11. Find the equation of the exponential given (0,1) (0,1) and (1,3) (-1,3)
  1. Identify General Form: Identify the general form of an exponential function.\newlineGeneral form: y=abxy = ab^x
  2. Find 'a' Using Point: Use the point (0,1)(0,1) to find 'a'.\newlineSubstitute x=0x = 0 and y=1y = 1 into the equation:\newline1=ab01 = a b^0\newlineSince b0=1b^0 = 1 for any b0b \neq 0,\newline1=a11 = a \cdot 1\newlinea=1a = 1
  3. Substitute 'a' and Use Point: Substitute 'a' back into the equation and use the point (1,3)(-1,3).\newlineWith a=1a = 1, the equation simplifies to y=bxy = b^x.\newlineSubstitute x=1x = -1 and y=3y = 3:\newline3=b13 = b^{-1}\newlineb1=3b^{-1} = 3\newlineb=13b = \frac{1}{3}
