question 5

Multiple Choice

Find the exponential function f that models this data. Round the coefficients to the nearest hundredth. $\begin{array}{r|rrrr}x & 3 & 6 & 9 & 12 \\\hline y & 12.2 & 36.2 & 73.5 & 151\end{array}$

• A) \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = ( 1.63 ) ( 1.78 ) ^ { \mathrm { x } }\)
• B) \(f ( x ) = ( 1.32 ) ( 5.97 ) ^ { x }\)
• C) \(\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) = ( 5.97 ) ( 1.32 ) ^ { \mathrm { x } }\)
• D) \(f ( x ) = ( 1.78 ) ( 1.63 ) ^ { x }\)
