Mike knows that (3,6.5) and (4,17.55) are points on the graph of an exponential function, g(x), and
he wants to find another point on the graph of this function.
First, he subtracts 6.5 from 17.55 to get 11.05.
Next, he adds 11.05 and 17.55 to get 28.6.
He states that (5,28.6) is a point on g(x).
Is he correct? Explain your reasoning.

Mike's claim that (5,28.6) is a point on the exponential function g(x) is incorrect

How to determine if he is correct?

The points are given as:

(3,6.5) and (4,17.55)

Calculate the rate of change using:

r = y4/y3

This means that:

r = 17.55/6.5

r = 2.7

So, the next point on the graph is:

Next point = 2.7 * y4

Substitute 17.55 for y4

Next point = 2.7 * 17.55

Evaluate

Next point = 47.39

This means that the next point on the graph is (5,47.99)

Hence, Mike's claim that (5,28.6) is a point on the exponential function g(x) is incorrect
