Make a table to find ordered pairs. Then, plot and connect the points with a smooth curve.
Graph:
Domain: All real numbers
Range: y<0
To graph the given exponential function, we will first make a table of values.
| x | - 4(1/4)^x | f(x)=- 4(1/4)^x |
|---|---|---|
| - 1.5 | - 4(1/4)^(- 1.5) | - 32 |
| 0 | - 4(1/4)^0 | - 4 |
| 1 | - 4(1/4)^1 | - 1 |
| 2 | - 4(1/4)^2 | - 0.25 |
Let's now plot and connect the points ( - 1.5, - 32), ( 0, - 4), ( 1, - 1), and ( 2, - 0.25) with a smooth curve.
We can see in the graph that the range is all real numbers less than zero. The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers. Domain:& All real numbers Range:& y<0
