Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the x and y values from the given points into the equation and solve for a and b

Using (2, 24), then

24 = ab² → (1)

Using (3, 48), then

48 = ab³ → (2)

Dividing (2) by (1)

[tex]\frac{ab^3}{ab^2}[/tex]= [tex]\frac{48}{24}[/tex], hence b = 2

Substitute b = 2 into (1)

24 = a × 2² = 4a ( divide both sides by 4 )

a = 6

Hence equation is y = 6[tex](2)^{x}[/tex] → A
