Question

Evaluate the exponential equation for three values of x greater than -4, three values of x smaller than -4, and at x = -4. Show your work. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph. State the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph y=3^x+4+1

Answer 1

y = 3^x = 4 + 1 = 3^x + 5.

y = 3^-5 + 5 = 0.00412 + 5 = 5.00412,
y = 3^-4 + 5 = 0.012 + 5 = 5.012
y = 3^-2 = 0.1111 + 5 = 5.1111

(-5 , 5.0041) , (-4 , 5.012) , (-2 , 5.1111).
