f(x) = 10^-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All real numbers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you want?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oops. i need to graph it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

derivate or integrate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what class are you in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)=1/10^x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pre cal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is f(0)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats wrong so eventually 0=0 which the equation does not exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0/x=45 WRONG

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(0) means value of f when x is 0 So what is f(x) = 10^-x when x is 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x) will equal 1 is x is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How about f(1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, r u saying that 10^1 and 10^-1 are the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait 1/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(-1)=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's better. So u want to graph this equation, u do f(0), f(-1), f(1) and some few others until u see what is going on and then put them on graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks. so how about e^-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All exponential graphs look alike http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=plot+e^%28-2x%29%2C+10^%28-x%29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if i have f(x)=2^x+1 would my point be (0,2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool thanks. I think its finally sticking in my brain. I think I try to make things more difficult then they have to be.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one more if you don't mind.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(x)= e^-2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if x=-1 would f(x)=7.39

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same game.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool
