What exponential function is the best fit for the data in the table? xf(x) 310 4 16 5 28 a. f(x) = 3(2)x − 2 + 4 b. f(x) = 3(2)x − 2 − 4 c. f(x) = one third(2)x − 2 + 4 4. f(x) = one third(2)x − 2 − 4

option: A is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a table of values as:

 x      3     4       5

f(x)    10    16     28

The exponential function which is the best fit for the data in the table is:

since when we put the value of x in the corresponding function we get the values as in the table.

i.e. when x=3

when x=4

when x=5

Hence, option A is correct.
