Exercise 32 Page 278

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^(x+3) f(x)=4^(x+3)
- 5 4^(- 5+3) 0.0625
- 3 4^(- 3+3) 1
- 2 4^(- 2+3) 4
- 1 4^(- 1+3) 16

Let's now plot and connect the points ( - 5, 0.0625), ( - 3, 1), ( - 2, 4), and ( - 1, 16) with a smooth curve.

We can see in the graph that the range is all real numbers greater than zero. The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers. Domain:& All real numbers Range:& y>0
