Which of the following exponential functions goes thru points (1,6) and (2,12)

Noting that e^b = 6/a

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the general expo function y = ae^(bx).

Subbing 6 for y and 1 for x, we get  6 = ae^(b), or   e^b = 6/a.

Subbing 12 for y and 2 for x, we get   12 = ae^(2b), or 12/a = (e^b)²

Now let's find the value of the coefficient a.  Noting that e^b = 6/a, rewrite

12/a = (e^b)² as 12/a = (6/a)².

Dividing both sides by 6/a, we get 2 = 6/a, or a = 3.

Again Noting that e^b = 6/a, e^b = 6/3, or e^b = 2.

Taking the natural log of both sides, we get b = ln 2.

Then our y = ae^(bx) becomes:

                y = 3e^(ln 2·x), or   y = 3·2^x

Note:  next time, please share the answer choices.  Thank you.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.
