Answer:
f(x) = 16*0.75^x
Step-by-step explanation:
first off let's use this coordinate (the one given) :
(0,16)
let's substitute this into the equation with x being 0 and f(x) being 16
16 = a*b^0
*anything to the power of 0 is 1*
so:
a = 16
now use the second coordinate :
(1,12)
and do the same by substituting 1 for x and 12 for f(x), we also know what 'a' is:
12 = 16*b^1
12 = 16 * b
b = 3/4
so :
f(x) = 16*0.75^x
