An easy log question? Fitting two points?

Question

Say I have two points: (0,0) and (x2,y2). The second point is in the top right quadrant. (see fig). Under what conditions can I find p such that e^p goes through both points and looks something like the curved line I have drawn?

Thanks!

sorry, e^p should be x^p

Answer 1

f(x) = ae^(bx ± d) ± q

Select/adjust the parameters: a, b, d, and q and you can easily achieve your goal.

Answer 2

None e^p can go through (0,0) because an exponential is NEVER 0
