Answer:
The output value increased by factor 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The general form of the exponential function is
[tex]f(x)=ab^x[/tex]
Where, a is initial value and b is growth factor.
From the given table it is noticed that at x=0, the value of f(x) is 3. It means the initial value is 3.
[tex]a=3[/tex]
The another value of f(x) is 12 at x=2.
[tex]f(3)=ab^2[/tex]
[tex]12=(3)b^2[/tex]
[tex]4=b^2[/tex]
[tex]b=2[/tex]
The required function is
[tex]f(x)=3(2)^x[/tex]
Since the growth factor is 2, therefore the output value increased by factor 2.
