Compute the ratio between consecutive values:

- 2.25 / 1.5 = 1.5
- 3.0 / 2.25 = 1.333...
- 4.5 / 3.0 = 1.5

Those ratios are not all equal, so the table as given is not a perfect exponential sequence for equally spaced x-values.

If the x-values are equally spaced and you want a single multiplicative rate from the first to the last entry, use r = (4.5/1.5)^(1/3) = 3^(1/3) ≈ 1.442.
