This question was once asked before so I will put it here.

The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "x = 2; a = 5; b = 3" A 5 inch tall bamboo shoot doubles in height every 3 days. If the equation y=ab^x, where x is the number of doubling periods, represents the height of the bamboo shoot.
