Question

If (-3, y) lies on the graph of y = 3^x, then y =

1/27
-1
-27

Answer 1

wht do u think

Answer 2

1/27 ?

Answer 3

How did u do it

Answer 4

I didn't..lol educated guess

Answer 5

where the graph

Answer 6

where is the graph

Answer 7

do u hve the graph

Answer 8

There is no graph.

Answer 9

i'm guessing you have to substitute values for x and y?

Answer 10

Idk. That's literally all the question says.

Answer 11

y = 3^(-3)

Answer 12

\[y=3^{-3}\]

Answer 13

hence y = 1/27

Answer 14

That's not one of the answer choices.

Answer 15

haha, but you have to evaluate 3 to the power of -3!

Answer 16

So it's 1/27 ..? Lol that's what my guess was.

Answer 17

a^(-n) = 1/a^n

Answer 18

@Sepeario

Answer 19

yes?

Answer 20

It is 1/27 ..?

Answer 21

yes, as @skullpatrol stated due to the evaluation of exponents.

Answer 22

Thanks y'all! :-)

Answer 23

$$\Huge a^{-n}= \dfrac{1}{a^n}$$

Answer 24

Thanks for asking :)

Answer 25

in case it's not obvious:
you can invert a number to remove the negative exponent
\[ 3^{-3} = \frac{1}{3^3} \]
and remember that \(3^3 \) means \(3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3\)

Answer 26

With the "obvious" exception of zero.
