The exponential function is
[tex]p(t) = 5(2^{t})[/tex]
What is exponential function?
An exponential function is defined by the formula [tex]f(x) = ab^{x}[/tex] where the input variable x occurs as an exponent. The exponential curve depends on the exponential function and it depends on the value of the x.
Where,
b>0 and b is not equal to 1.
x is any real number.
If the variable is negative, the function is undefined for -1 < x < 1.
Here,
“x” is a variable
“b” is a constant, which is the base of the function.
and a is also constant.
According to the given question
We have an exponential function
[tex]p(t) = ab^{t} ...(i)[/tex]
And from the given graph, the two points (0, 5) and (1, 10). So these points must satisfy the exponential function (i)
Substitute t = 0 and p(t) = 5 in (i)
⇒[tex]5 = a[/tex] or a = 5 ( because, [tex]b^{0} = 1[/tex] )
Again, substitute a = 5, t = 1 and p(t) = 10 in exponential function [tex]p(t) = ab^{t}[/tex]
⇒ 10 = 5[tex]b^{1}[/tex]
⇒ b = 2
Therefore, the exponential function p(t) is given by
[tex]p(t) = 5(2^{t})[/tex]
