Answer 2

2nd one

Explanation:

I think I'm understanding your function to be f(x)=4(1.5)^x.

It goes through (0,4) becuase when x=0, you have y=4(1.5)^0=4(1)=4.

It also increases by a factor of 1.5 each time x goes up by 1.

Example: When x=1, you have 4(1.5)^1=4(1.5)

Another example: When x=2, you have 4(1.5)^2=4(1.5)(1.5).

Those are called factors because the operation is multiplication.
