Exercise 2 Page 298

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 - 2 (1/6)^x y=- 2 (1/6)^x
- 1 - 2 (1/6)^(- 1) - 12
0 - 2 (1/6)^0 - 2
1 - 2 (1/6)^1 - 0.333
2 - 2 (1/6)^2 - 0.055

Let's now plot and connect the points ( - 1, - 12), ( 0, - 2), ( 1, - 0.33), and ( 2, - 0.055) 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
