Step 1:

\

The exponential function is \"\".

\

Consider \"\".

\

Make the table of values to find ordered pairs that satisfy the equation.

\

Choose values for \"\" and find the corresponding values for \"\".

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \
\"\"\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\"\"\"
\"\"\"\" \

\"\"

\
\

Step 2:

\

Use the graphing utility to graph the function \"\".

\

Graph:

\

1.Draw a coordinate plane.

\

2.Plot the coordinate points.

\

3.Then sketch the graph, connecting the points with a smooth curve.

\

\"\"

\

Solution:

\

The graph the function \"\".

\

\"\"
