write an exponential function for the set of points
x | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
f(x) | 27 | 9 | 3 | 1 | 1/3

Answer:

The function is [tex]f(x) = 27(\frac{1}{3})^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare the y values. Notice that the y values are all multiples of 3 and they decrease by dividing by 3 each time. This suggests the base is 1/3.

Now check when x = 0. This is the initial value since the zero exponent gives an output of 1. So the only way for (0,27) to be a point is for 27 to e multiplied as the initial value. The function is [tex]f(x) = 27(\frac{1}{3})^x[/tex]
