What exponential function is the best fit for the data in the table? x f(x)2 -33 04 12a. f(x) = 4(4)^x - 1 + 4b. f(x) =4(4)^ x - 1 - 4c. f(x) = 1/4(4)^x -1 + 4d. f(x) = 1/4(4)^ x - 1 - 4

option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given in the table is

x           2         3          4

f(x)       -3        0          12

Now we will plug in the values of x in the given functions to find the correct exponential function.

For x =2

A). f(x) = 4(4) + 4

     f(2) = 4(4) + 4 = 4 × 4 + 4 = 20

B). f(x) = 4(4) - 4

    f(2) = 4(4) - 4 = (4)(4) - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12

C).  f(x) = 1/4(4) +4

      1/4(4) + 4 = × 4 + 4

     = 1 + 4 = 5

D). f(x) =

     f(2) =

      = 1 - 4 = -3

We find option D in which f(2) = (-3). so the answer would be option D.

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
