(Q4) Which values of a and b in the exponential function y = a (bx) would result in the following graph?

Answer: second option.
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, you know that:
[tex]b^0=1[/tex]
You can see in the graph that the interception with the y-axis is at -1.
Therefore, in that point: x=0 and y=-2
Substitute into the function and solve for a:
[tex]-1=a(b)^0\\-1=a(1)\\a=-1[/tex]
Now, choose any point of the function and substitute this point and the value of a into the function and solve for b. Then you obtain:
Point (2,-4)
[tex]-4=-1(b)^2\\\frac{-4}{-1}=b^2\\b=\sqrt{4}\\b=2[/tex]
