Question

Graph the function y=(1/2)^x+1 using the given table of values and following the instructions below.

Answer 1

See the attached image.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

`y=\left((1)/(2)\right)^x + 1`

We can graph the top four points in the middle table, as they fit on the shown graph, and their coordinates are all integers:

`(-3,9)`
`(-2,5)`
`(-1,3)`
`(0,2)`

Then, we can draw a curve through the points and along the asymptote of the exponential function at
`y=1`.

Note that the asymptote is drawn as a dotted line in purple.
