Answer:

[tex]y=35\cdot (1.6)^x.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the exponential function in a form [tex]y=a\cdot b^x.[/tex]

1. At x=0,

[tex]35=a\cdot b^0=a.[/tex]

2. At x=1,

[tex]56=35\cdot b^1\Rightarrow b=\dfrac{56}{35}=\dfrac{8}{5}=1.6.[/tex]

Therefore, the expression for the exponential function is

[tex]y=35\cdot (1.6)^x.[/tex]

Note that

[tex]y(-1)=35\cdot (1.6)^{-1}=\dfrac{35}{1.6}=21.875[/tex]

and

[tex]y(2)=35\cdot (1.6)^2=35\cdot 2.56=89.6.[/tex]
