Answer:

a = 10 and b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We write out f(x)= ab^x for x = 0 and x = 3 to create two equations in a and b that must be solved simultaneously:

(0, 10):  10 = a*b^0

This tells us that 10 = a*1, or a = 10.

(3, 1250):  1250 = a*b^3 => 10*b^3, or

1250 = 10*b^3, or

125 = b^3.  Taking the cube root of both sides, we obtain b = 5.

a = 10 and b = 5
