ez: Attempt 2 Question 12 (2 points) Given the table of values, write an equation that will represent the exponential growth or decay \begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline 15 & 60 & 240 & 960 & 3840 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

Step 1 ：Given the table of values, we are asked to write an equation that will represent the exponential growth or decay.

Step 2 ：The given table represents an exponential function. The y-values are increasing by a factor of 4 as the x-values increase by 1. This suggests that the base of the exponential function is 4.

Step 3 ：The initial value (when x=0) is 15. Therefore, the equation of the function is of the form \(y = ab^x\), where a is the initial value and b is the base of the exponential function.

Step 4 ：The equation that represents the exponential growth is \(\boxed{y = 15 \cdot 4^x}\).
