Hey there!

For this problem, I would assume that you must make your own chart of values. You can do this by simply plugging in numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc... Since your graph won't be linear, you might want to do some negative numbers, as well.

Also because your graph isn't linear, you might want to figure out or determine on your own just how far your curve will go. You can then figure out how many times you need to plug in an additional numbers for your function to then graph.

I've attached a digital graph of this function, perhaps you can find it useful.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Let's approach this by understanding how an exponential works, to begin.

Any exponential in the form: $f(x) = 3^{x}$ will cut the y-axis once and once only. This is because the exponential graph is a monotonic increasing graph for all real values of x.

We can prove this by taking the derivative. When we take the derivative of a function, we are finding the slope or gradient of the function at an arbitrary point on the graph.

$\text{Differentiating the function:} f'(x) = \frac{d(3^{x})}{dx}$
$f(x) = e^{ln(3^{x})}$
$f(x) = e^{xln3}$
$f'(x) = ln(3) \cdot e^{xln3}$

Thus, we can conclude for any value of x, the gradient will always be increasing. Now, by plotting some critical values, we can find that the graph hits the y-axis once and once only at the value y = 1.

At this point, we've sort of have an idea as to what the graph will do, but the most critical points are the endpoints, when x approaches infinity and negative infinity. In order to understand what they do at those points, instead of plotting those points, let's use a limit.

$\lim_{x \to \pm \infty}(3^{x})$

Limits are a crucial tool in understanding what a graph does as the terms get arbitrarily huge and infinitesimally small. We can see that as x approaches infinity, we approach some really big number faster than a quadratic, linear line, and any function other than factorials.

However, let's approach the negative side. If we were to plug in negative infinity into the function, we get:
$f(-\infty) = 3^{-\infty}$
$f(-\infty) = \frac{1}{3^{\infty}}$

Now, we know that for a really big number in the denominator, the function will shrink smaller and smaller to a value, 0. Because the numerator is positive, we can see that the graph will NEVER hit below 0. So, we can conclude that the graph has a limit at x ≠ 0.

Since we know the endpoints, the gradient at any value, and the y-intercept, we can graph the function. Refer to the other answer for the correct graph of 3ˣ.

Listed below are time intervals (min) between eruptions of a geyser. assume that the "recent" times are within the past few years, the "past" times are from around 20 years ago, and that the two samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally distributed populations. do not assume that the population standard deviations are equal. does it appear that the mean time interval has changed? is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? recent 78 90 90 79 57 101 62 87 71 87 81 84 57 80 74 103 62 past 88 89 93 94 65 85 85 92 87 91 89 91 follow the steps of hypothesis testing, including identifying the alternative and null hypothesis, calculating the test statistic, finding the p-value, and making a conclusions about the null hypothesis and a final conclusion that addresses the original claim. use a significance level of 0.10. is the conclusion affected by whether the significance level is 0.10 or 0.01? answer choices below: a) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.01 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.10. b) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is not rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used. c) yes, the conclusion is affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected when the significance level is 0.10 but is not rejected when the significance level is 0.01. d) no, the conclusion is not affected by the significance level because h0 is rejected regardless of whether a significance level of 0.10 or 0.01 is used.
