How do you write an exponential function given two points?
How do you write a power function given two points?
Which function uses logs to solve it?

Just like 2 points determine a line, 2 points determine an
exponential curve.

Write an Exponential function, y=abx whose graph goes thru
(1,6) & (3,24)
• Substitute the coordinates into y=abx to get 2 equations.
• 1. 6=ab1
• 2. 24=ab3
• Then solve the system:

Write an Exponential function, y=abx whose graph goes thru (1,6) & (3,24) (continued)
• 1. 6=ab1 → a=6/b• 2. 24=(6/b) b3
• 24=6b2
• 4=b2
• 2=b
a= 6/b = 6/2 = 3
So the function isY=3·2x

Write an Exponential function, y=abx whose graph goes thru
(-1,.0625) & (2,32)
• .0625=ab-1
• 32=ab2
•(.0625)=a/b•b(.0625)=a
•32=[b(.0625)]b2
•32=.0625b3
•512=b3
•b=8 a=1/2
y=1/2 · 8x

Modeling with POWER functions
•y = axb
• Only 2 points are needed
• (2,5) & (6,9)
• 5 = a 2b
• 9 = a 6b
a = 5/2b
9 = (5/2b)6b
9 = 5·3b
1.8 = 3b
log31.8 = log33b
.535 ≈ ba = 3.45y = 3.45x.535

• You can decide if a power model fits data points if:
• (lnx,lny) fit a linear pattern• Then (x,y) will fit a power pattern
• See Example #5, p. 512
• You can also use power regression on the calculator to write a model for data.
