Exercise 33 Page 279

Make a table to find ordered pairs. Then, plot and connect the points with a smooth curve.

Graph:

Domain: All real numbers
Range: y>7

Practice makes perfect

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

x 5^(x-2)+7 y=5^(x-2)+7
0 5^(0-2)+7 7.04
1 5^(1-2)+7 7.2
2 5^(2-2)+7 8
3 5^(3-2)+7 12

Let's now plot and connect the points ( 0, 7.04), ( 1, 7.2), and ( 2, 8), ( 3, 12) with a smooth curve.

We can see that the graph approaches the line y=7 but does not intersect it. Therefore, the range is all real numbers greater than 7. The domain of the function is all real numbers. Domain:& All real numbers Range:& y>7
