exponential equation

Question

make an exponential equation using the equation y=a x b^x with the points (-3,8) and (3,-2)

Answer 1

y= a* b^(-3)

point are (-3,8) and (3,-2)

So x= -3, y=8 and another point where x=3, y= -2

So, y= ab^x plug one points value in equation

8=ab^(-3) eq 1 other point where y=ab^x

plug points -2= ab^3 eq 2

divide both equations then b^0 = -4

1= -4

so it has no solution

Answer 2

8 = ab^-3

-2 = ab³

-0.25 = b⁶
