How do you state two equations for an exponential function that passes through (0,12) and shows growth?

I tried using #e# and #10# as the traditional and most used exponentials.

Explanation:

I would use the two traditional exponentials as:

#y=12*e^(1*x)#
graph{12e^x [-52, 52.02, -26, 26]}
and:

#y=12*10^(1*x)#
graph{12*10^x [-58.5, 58.5, -29.25, 29.25]}

In both case when #x=0# the exponentials become equal to #1# and give you #y=12#; also the positive numerical exponent (in this case #1#) multiplies #x# and gives you a growing tendency.
