Answer

$y=2(7)^{x}$

Work Step by Step

Exponential function is of the form $y=ab^{x}$ where $a\ne0$, $b\ne1$ and $b\gt0$. From the table of values, $\text{y-intercept}=2=a$ The $y$-values increase by a factor of $7$ as $x$ increases by $1$. So, $b=7$. An exponential function represented by the table is $y=2(7)^{x}$.
