Exercise 1 Page 322

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

Practice makes perfect

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
