Answer

$f(x)=4.5\left(9^{x}\right)$

Work Step by Step

Exponential models have form: $f(x)=y=Ab^{x}$ When $x$ increases by one unit, the value of $f$ is multiplied by $b.$ $A=f(0)$ --- If x increases one whole unit, (twice by half-unit) f will increase by $3\cdot 3=9=b.$ $A=f(0)=4.5$ (given) so $f(x)=Ab^{x}=4.5\left(9^{x}\right)$
