1. Exponential Functions
Sign In
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
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
