write the equation for the exponential function that passes through the points (0.5) and (1,15)

Hm. I assume an exponential function means in the form $$y = ae^x$$?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

Ok, so you basically have two equations and two unknowns if you plug in your two values: \begin{align} y &= ae^x\\ 5 &= ae^0\\ 15 &= ae^1 \end{align} You have a huge advantage because one of the equations is $$ae^0$$. What's e^0?

shadow youre missing something. y = Ae^(kt). there should be an A and a k. or two parameters. Shadow, you have one parameter , just the a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or if you want to use x, then y = Ae^(kx)

Absolutely right -- had looked at it a little further earlier and there were some holes in the reasoning. teekay hadn't gotten back yet, though, so I figured I'd wait. Thanks!
