Question

Graph the exponential function.
y=3(2)^x+4

Answer 1

https://www.desmos.com/calculator could this help you?? If not sorry!

Answer 2

its a start, thank you~

Answer 3

\[y=3(2)^x + 4\]
I would make a table of x and y values before breaking out the graph paper:

x y
-5 3(2)^-5 + 4 = 3/32 + 4 = 4.09375
-4 3(2)^-4 + 4 = 3/16+4 = 4.1875
-3 3(2)^-3 + 4 = 3/8 + 4 = 4.375
-2 3(2)^-2 + 4 = 3/4 + 4 = 4.75
-1 3(2)^-1 + 4 = 3/2 + 4 = 5.5
0 3(2)^0 + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7
1 3(2)^1 + 4 = 6+4 = 10
2 3(2)^2 + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16
3 3(2)^3 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28
4 3(2)^4 + 4 = 48 + 4 = 52
5 3(2)^5 + 4 = 96 + 4 = 100

and that's probably more than sufficient.

Now sharpen the pencil and start plotting points!

Answer 4

As the x value goes toward - infinity, the y value gets closer and closer to 4, but never quite reaches it. After the x value passes 0 going in a positive direction, the function gets big really quickly :-)

Answer 5

WHOA Thanks whpalmer4!!!

Answer 6

Here's a graph (I like making graphs! :-)

Don't look until you've plotted yours!

Answer 7

I won't look, I promise~
:)

Answer 8

i'm plotting and I think I'm going above the horizontal asymptote?

Answer 9

oh I'm supposed to, oops
I see why now
