Q. 22. For EACA of the problems below, write an equati\newlinea.\newline\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}\newline\hlinex x & y y \\\newline\hline 00 & 00.55 \\\newline\hline 11 & 33 \\\newline\hline 22 & 1818 \\\newline\hline 33 & 108108 \\\newline\hline\newline\end{tabular}\newliney= y= \newlineCheck that your equation works:
  1. Observe pattern in y-values: Observe the pattern in the y-values as xx increases.\newlineAs xx increases from 00 to 11, yy increases from 0.50.5 to 33. As xx increases from 11 to 22, yy increases from 33 to xx22. As xx increases from 22 to 33, yy increases from xx22 to xx88. It seems that as xx increases by 11, yy is multiplied by 0022 (since 0033, 0044, and 0055).
  2. Determine function type: Determine the type of function that could model this behavior.\newlineThe pattern suggests an exponential function because the y-value is being multiplied by a constant factor as xx increases. An exponential function has the form y=abxy = ab^x, where aa is the initial value (when x=0x=0) and bb is the growth factor.
  3. Find initial value 'a': Use the initial value (when x=0x=0) to find 'a'.\newlineWhen x=0x=0, y=0.5y=0.5. Therefore, the initial value 'a' is 0.50.5.
  4. Find growth factor 'b': Use another point to find 'b'.\newlineWe can use the point (1,3)(1, 3) to find 'b'. Plugging these values into the equation y=abxy = ab^x gives us 3=0.5×b13 = 0.5 \times b^1. Solving for bb, we get b=30.5=6b = \frac{3}{0.5} = 6.
  5. Write equation with values: Write the equation using the values of aa and bb. The equation is y=0.5×6xy = 0.5 \times 6^x.
  6. Check equation with points: Check that the equation works with the other points.\newlineFor x=2x=2, yy should be 1818. Plugging x=2x=2 into the equation gives us y=0.5×62=0.5×36=18y = 0.5 \times 6^2 = 0.5 \times 36 = 18, which is correct.\newlineFor x=3x=3, yy should be 108108. Plugging x=3x=3 into the equation gives us y=0.5×63=0.5×216=108y = 0.5 \times 6^3 = 0.5 \times 216 = 108, which is correct.
