Answers:

a = 2

b = 3

=======================================================

Explanation:

Plug in x = 0 and y = 2 to find that

y = a*b^x

2 = a*b^0

2 = a*1

2 = a

a = 2

Then plug in x = 3 and y = 54 to determine the value of b

y = a*b^x

y = 2*b^x

54 = 2*b^3

2b^3 = 54

b^3 = 54/2

b^3 = 27

b = (27)^(1/3)

b = 3

So we have y = a*b^x update to y = 2*3^x
