Answer:

(0,1) and (-2,9)

Explanation:

A point (x,y) lies on the graph of f(x) =
((1)/(3) )^(x) if it satisfies the condition y =
((1)/(3) )^(x)

(0,1):

x = 0 and y = 1.

This point satisfies the required condition as


((1)/(3) )^(0) = 1

Hence, this point is on the graph of f(x) =
((1)/(3) )^(x)

(3,27):

x = 3 and y = 27.

This point doesn't satisfy the required condition as


((1)/(3) )^(3) =
(1)/(27) 27

Hence, this point is not on the graph of f(x) =
((1)/(3) )^(x)

(-2,9):

x = -2 and y = 9.

This point satisfies the required condition as


((1)/(3) )^(-2) =
3^(2) = 9

Hence, this point is on the graph of f(x) =
((1)/(3) )^(x)

(-1,
-(1)/(3)):

x = -1 and y =
-(1)/(3).

This point satisfies the required condition as

y =
((1)/(3) )^(-1) =
3^(1) = 3 ≠
-(1)/(3)

Hence, this point is not on the graph of f(x) =
((1)/(3) )^(x)
