Question 766504: two variable quantities x and y are related by equation y=a(b^x),whwre a and b are constant.When the graph is plotted showing values of ln y in vertical axis and the value of x on the horizontal axis the points lie on a straight line having gradient 1.8 and crossing the vertical axis at the point (0.4.1).Find the value of a and b

You are saying, apparantly, the included point is the vertical axis intercept at (0, 0.41) or is it (0, 4.1)?

and taking natural log both sides gives a linear equation:
______ a linear equation, vertical intercept ln(a) and slope ln(b).

Finding b is not a problem. Finding a, maybe a little problem, depending on vertical intercept.
so

The vertical intercept is for x=0, so you have this:

Either Or depending on which you really have. Find a from the proper one.

If vertical intercept 0.41, then
......OR
If vertical intercept 4.1, then
