For a relationship between variables x and y, the value of y is 24 when x=0, and the value of y increases by 65% for every unit increase in x. Write an exponential equation to represent this situation.

Question

HINT: What is the growth rate of y?

y=24(0.65)
x


y=24(1.65)
x


y=39.6(1.65)
x


y=65(2.24)
x

Answer 1

The correct exponential equation that represents this situation is:

y = 24(1.65)^x
