Answer:
H. q(x) = 0.0625 · [tex](4)^{x}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The inside fo the parenthesis is the rate of the exponential function. You can find this by dividing the second term by the first (or 3rd by 2nd, etc. etc.).
r = 0.25 / 0.0625
r = 4
The coefficient is the the value of y at x = 0, because when you plug in x = 0, the portion with the exponent is equal to 1. It's easier to understand when I write it out.
q(0) = 0.0625 · [tex](4)^{0}[/tex]
= 0.0625 · 1
= 0.0625
If all else fails, and you're given a table, you can plug in some x values to see if you get the correct y value.
I hope this helps!
