[tex]y=ab^x\\\\(1;\ 6)\to x=1;\ y=6\\(3;\ 54)\to x=3;\ y=54\\\\\text{substitute the values of x and y to the equation}\\\\ \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}6=ab^1&\to&a=\dfrac{6}{b}^{(*)}\\54=ab^3\end{array}\right\\\\\text{substitute (*) to the second equation}\\\\54=\dfrac{6}{b}\cdot b^3\\\\54=6\cdot b^2\ \ \ \ |:6\\\\b=9\to b=\sqrt9\to b=3 \\\\\text{substitute the value of b to the (*)}\\\\a=\dfrac{6}{3}=2\\\\\text{Answer:}\ y=2\cdot3^x[/tex]
