Question 47998
Find the exponential function of the form f(x)=ba^x+c with y-intercept 2, horizontal asymptote y=-2, that passes through the point P(1,4). 

y-intercept 2 means it passes through (0,2)
Then 2=ba^0 + c
2=b+c
---------------------------
horizontal asymptote y=-2 means c=-2
-----------------------------------
Substitute that into 2=b+c to get 
2=b-2
b=4
-----------------------------------
Passes through the point (1,4) means
4=a(4^1)-2
6=4a
a=(3/2)
------------------------------------
EQUATION:
y=4(3/2)^x -2
That is answer "d"
