Q. 2. Find the equation of the exponential given (2,2) and (3,4)
Identify Exponential Function Form: Identify the general form of an exponential function, which is y=abx. Here, a and b are constants we need to find.
Substitute Point 2,2: Use the point 2,2 in the equation y=abx. Substituting x=2 and y=2 gives 2=ab2.
Substitute Point (3,4): Use the point (3,4) in the equation y=abx. Substituting x=3 and y=4 gives 4=ab3.
Solve System of Equations: Solve the system of equations from the two points. From the first equation, express a as a=b22. Substitute this into the second equation: 4=(b22)b3. Simplify to get 4=2b.
Find Value of b: Solve for b: 2b=4, so b=2.
Find Value of a: Substitute b=2 back into the expression for a: a=222=42=0.5.
Write Final Equation: Write the final equation using the values of a and b: y=0.5×2x.
