OpenStudy (phi):

a^x passes through lots of points (an infinite number)

1st drop down menu (0,a) (0,1) (0,2) (0,-1) 2nd drop down menu (1,0) (1,1) (1,a) (1,-2) 3rd drop down menu above below on the

OpenStudy (phi):

but I would immediately think of a^0 (i.e. when x is 0) and a^1 (when x is 1) as "easy" points to list.

OpenStudy (phi):

do you know what (for example) 2^0 is equal to ?

OpenStudy (donnie1999):

1?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, and that "rule" works for all numbers. in other words, no matter* what a is a^0 = 1 so you know (0, 1) is on the graph. * of course, there is one exception. a=0 won't work. but I think we can assume a is not 0 in this problem

OpenStudy (phi):

what (x,y) point do you get for x=1 ? any idea ?

OpenStudy (donnie1999):

Im clueless right now... sadly

OpenStudy (phi):

can you "put in" 1 for x in y= a^x ??

OpenStudy (phi):

what "formula" do you get when you replace x with 1 in y= a^x ?
