Question

pherris is graphing the function \\(f(x) = 2(3)^x\\). he begins with the point \\((1, 6)\\). which could be the next point on his graph?

\\(\bigcirc\\) \\((2, 12)\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\((2, 18)\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\((2, 7)\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\((3, 7)\\)

Explanation:

Evaluate the function at x = 2

$$ f(2) = 2(3)^2 = 2(9) = 18 $$

Evaluate the function at x = 3

$$ f(3) = 2(3)^3 = 2(27) = 54 $$

Identify the matching coordinate pair

$$ (2, f(2)) = (2, 18) $$

Answer:

  • (2, 12)
  • (2, 18) (Correct answer)
  • (2, 7)
  • (3, 7)
