Answer:
f(x) = 11.93·1.42^x
Step-by-step explanation:
I entered the data into a graphing calculator and made use of its exponential regression function to find the coefficients of ...
... y = a·b^x
It told me ...
... a ≈ 11.9304, b ≈ 1.41885
In accordance with the problem statement, these values are rounded to hundredths to get the answer.
