Which description matches the function represented by the values of the table

Answer:
It is an exponential growth
Therefore, option C is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given function is increasing hence, it can not be decay
So, option A and D are incorrect being decay.
Now, the given function is:
taking two points
(1,14) and (2,56)
y=ab
[tex]14=ab[/tex] (1)
And [tex]56=ab^2[/tex] (2)
Divide 2 by 1 we get:
[tex]4=b[/tex]
Hence, [tex]a=\frac{y}{b}[/tex]
Now, taking point (1,14)
[tex]a=\frac{14}{4}=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]
So, the function is:
[tex]y=\frac{7}{2}\cdot 4^x[/tex]
Hence, it is an exponential growth
Therefore, option C is correct.
Answer:
The function is [tex]y=3.5(4)^x[/tex] and is an exponential growth model.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The data representing a function.
We have to choose the correct option from the given options that describes the values in the given table.
Consider the given table,
x y
1 14
2 56
3 224
4 896
5 3584
Since, The value of y is increasing with increasing value of x.
So, It is a growth function.
Also, The function for exponential growth is represented by function.
[tex]y=cb^x[/tex]
Let us consider any two points out of given points (2,56) and (3,224)
Then
[tex]56=cb^2[/tex] and [tex]224=cb^3[/tex]
Divide both equations, we have,
[tex]\frac{224}{56}=\frac{cb^3}{cb^2}[/tex]
Simplify, we have,
b = 4
Now substitute value of b in any of equation
[tex]56=c(4)^2=16c[/tex]
Divide both side by 16 , we have,
c = 3.5
Thus, The function is [tex]y=3.5(4)^x[/tex] and hence, is an exponential growth model.
