Answer

$ f(x)=6^{x}$

Work Step by Step

The graph is above the x-axis, rises from the left to right and passes through (0,1) $\Rightarrow $ The base is greater than 1, no left/right shifts, no reflections. It passes through $(1,6)$, so we assume that the base is $6,\ f(x)=6^{x}$, and we check with the other points: $(6)^{-1}=\displaystyle \frac{1}{6}\quad $ ... point $(-1,\displaystyle \frac{1}{6})\quad $ ... OK $(6)^{2}=36\quad $ ... point $(2,36)\quad $ ... OK $ f(x)=6^{x}$
