Exponential Functions and TI-84 Calculator

This video tutorial demonstrates how to determine an exponential function given two points using a TI-84 calculator. It covers entering data, performing exponential regression, and understanding the resulting function. The video also explains how to identify the initial value, determine if the function represents growth or decay, and calculate f(2).

What are the coordinates of the two points through which the exponential function passes?

• (1, 6) and (3, 27/8)

• (2, 5) and (4, 16)

• (0, 1) and (2, 4)

• (1, 3) and (2, 9)
