anonymous · Answer

umm it has to be in a equation

myininaya · Answer

i'm showing you a pattern

myininaya · Answer

you need to realize the pattern before you can make an equation

myininaya · Answer

these are the points you gave me
$$(1,2^1);(2,2^2);(3,2^3);(4,2^4);(5,2^5)$$
what do they have in common?

anonymous · Answer

okay so far i see that the patter is increasing the exponent...

myininaya · Answer

$$y=2^x$$

anonymous · Answer

well... i gave you (1,2), (2,4), (3,8), (4,16), (5,32) these...

anonymous · Answer

how can it be y=2^x?

myininaya · Answer

yes thats right you gave me:
$$(1,2^1);(2,2^2);(3,2^3);(4,2^4);(5,2^5)  $$

myininaya · Answer

x=1 => y=2^1=2
x=2 => y=2^2=4
x=3 => y=2^3=8
x=4 => y=2^4=16
x=5 => y=2^5=32

anonymous · Answer

oops... sorry... i didnt realize it

anonymous · Answer

so its y=2^x?

anonymous · Answer

thanks so muchh!!!
