The following graph is of an exponential function of the form y=a*bx.
what values of a and b would make this equation work?
a=
b=

a= 15

b=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

key rule: see the graph carefully to get the following identified points.from the given graph, it can be seen that, the curve passes through (0,15)by substituting this point in y=a*(b)^x,

15=a*(b)^0

15=a    

it can also be seen that the curve passes through (1,5)by substituting this point in y=a*(b)^x,

5=a*b

5=15*b       (  since, we have found that a=15 from the before steps)

dividing both the sides by 15,

5/15=b=1/3

hence,

a= 15

b=1/3.
