Solution:
Given:
A table representing an exponential function.
The x-values represent the terms, while the y-values represent the numbers.
The common ratio is gotten from the numbers (y-values).
The formula for common ratio is given by;
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{present\text{ term}}{preceed\text{ ing term}} \\ \\ \text{Hence,} \\ r=\frac{108}{36}=\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12}{4}=\frac{4}{1.33\ldots}=\frac{1.33\ldots.}{0.44\ldots} \\ r=3 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Therefore, the common ratio is 3.
