f(x)= 3^x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's asking me to graph the function, but I need to show some work and am stumped. Help!

OpenStudy (callisto):

To graph it, you need to find some points for the line. So, make use of the function given. Draw a table first. f(x)= 3^x+2 x | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 ---------------------------------- f(x)|5 |11| | | | Can you complete the above table?

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

also, the y intercept is 2.

OpenStudy (callisto):

y-int is 3...

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Nope. It's 2.

OpenStudy (callisto):

Put x=0 into f(x)= 3^x+2 f(0) = 3^0 +2 = 1+2 =3....

OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):

Yes, it's three.

*headdesk*

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

It's an exponential function of 36x shifted up by 2 units. Now, what helps is finding out the y-intercept, and the value at x=1. so y-intercept, that is y at x=0 is 3 ofcourse, and at x=1, y=5 Now... GRAPHING TIME!! |dw:1334903608813:dw| ofcourse, the graph is retricemptotic to y=2 at negative infinity.
