Answer:
Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.
2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.
2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a
Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3
Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2
Divide both sides by b2
2b = 4
a = 2/4 = 1/2
b = 2
y = 1 (2)x
2

Answer:
y = (1/4)4^x
Step-by-step explanation:
In general, you can use a 2-point form to write the exponential function for points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) as ...
y = y1·(y2/y1)^((x -x1)/(x2 -x1))
Using the given points, this becomes ...
y = 4·(16/4)^((x -2)/(3 -2)) = 4·4^(x-2)
We can eliminate the exponent arithmetic by making use of a couple of rules of exponents.
y = 4·(4^x)(4^-2) = (4^-1)(4^x)
y = (1/4)(4^x)
