Which type of function is represented by the table of values below? x y 1 4 2 16 3 64 4 256 5 1,024 exponential linear quadratic square root

Exponential

Explanation:
The given data may be represented as the table shown below.

x |   1    2   3       4        5
y |  4  16  64  256  1024

Consider the function .
f(1) = 4¹ = 4
f(2) = 4² = 16
f(3) = 4³ = 64
f(4) = 4⁴ = 256
f(5) = 4⁵ = 1024

Therefore, the required function is .
This is an exponential function.
