Answer 3

what is this parametric graphing?

Answer 4

no idea

Answer 5

lol, i don't know if they mean to parametrize y=3^x
with a variable say t

Answer 6

but I'm exactly sure here lol

Answer 7

im not sure i mean *

Answer 8

To parameterize (not even sure that's a word?) the function y = f(x), let x = t

so

y = f(x)
y = 3^x
y = 3^t

so the parametric form of f(x) is

x = t
y = 3^t

taken together, they help draw this graph

Answer 9

with parametric equations, it's very easy to graph the inverse. Simply swap the roles of x and y

so now

x = 3^t
y = t

graphing, using a calc like TI83, you'll get this graph
