Question

How do you state two equations for an exponential function that passes through (0,12) and shows growth?

Answer 1

I tried using `e` and `10` as the traditional and most used exponentials.

Explanation:

I would use the two traditional exponentials as:

`y=12*e^(1*x)`
graph{12e^x [-52, 52.02, -26, 26]}
and:

`y=12*10^(1*x)`
graph{12*10^x [-58.5, 58.5, -29.25, 29.25]}

In both case when `x=0` the exponentials become equal to `1` and give you `y=12`; also the positive numerical exponent (in this case `1`) multiplies `x` and gives you a growing tendency.
