Graph the function y = -4(3^x)

Answer 1

To graph the function y = -4(3^x), we can start by making a table of values to plot some points.

When x = -2, y = -4(3^-2) = -4(1/9) = -4/9

When x = -1, y = -4(3^-1) = -4(1/3) = -4/3

When x = 0, y = -4(3^0) = -4(1) = -4

When x = 1, y = -4(3^1) = -4(3) = -12

When x = 2, y = -4(3^2) = -4(9) = -36

Now we can plot these points on a graph and connect them to create a curve. The graph will show an exponential decay with a steep slope.

I cannot physically graph the function here, but you can use the information provided to sketch it on a piece of paper or use a graphing calculator to plot the function.
