Which graph models the function f(x)=-2(3)^x

Solution:

We are an exponential function.

If a<0 and b>1 then graph is decreasing.

If a>0 and b<1 then graph is decreasing.

If a<0 and b<1 then graph is increasing.

If a>0 and b>1 then graph is increasing.

Here a=-2<0 and b=3>1 therefore, f(x) is decreasing.

Horizontal asymptote , y=0

x-intercept: Doesn't not exist

y-intercept: (0,-2)

Using above information we will draw the graph f(x)

We make table of x and y for different value of x

  x        y

-2       -0.22

 -1       -0.67

 0          -2

 1           -6

 2           -18

Plot these points on graph and join the points.

 Please see the attachment to see the graph.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
