Exercise 3 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>- 3

Practice makes perfect

To graph the given exponential function, we will first make a table of values.

Let's now plot and connect the points ( 0, - 2.9375), ( 4, - 2), ( 7, 5), and ( 9, 29) with a smooth curve.

We can see in the graph that the range is all real numbers greater than negative three. Domain:& All real numbers Range:& y>- 3
