Find a formula for the exponential function passing through the points (-3,5/64) and (2,80)

That's the exponential function.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply just use a graphing calculator (there's plenty of apps and websites that are graphing calculators) and follow these steps.

1) Clear out calculator RAM

2) Press STAT button

3) Press ENTER on EDIT

4) Type the X's in L1 and type the Y's L2.

5) Press STAT again

6) Press the RIGHT ARROW once

7) Press 0

8) Press ENTER

9) There's your exponential function!

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
