Answer

Exponential growth function

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 $4$ as $x$ increases by $1$. So, $b=4$. As $b\gt1$, the given table represents an exponential growth function.
