Answer:
Yes, the given table represent an exponential function.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given table is :
x y
1 4
2 16
3 64
4 256
Now we need to identify if the given table represent an exponential function or not. To find that we need to check if we can write the numbers in y-column in form of exponential function [tex]y=ab^x[/tex].
We see that y-values are basically powers of 4 so we can write the related function as [tex]y=4^x[/tex].
Which is clearly in form of [tex]y=ab^x[/tex].
Hence yes, the given table represent an exponential function.
