Question

Graph the exponential function.G(x)=(1/3)^xPlot five point on the graph of the function.

Answer 1

Graph the function:

`G(x)=((1)/(3))^x`

We'll use the following values of x: {-2, -1, 0, 1, 2}.

Substituting:

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

`G(-1)=((1)/(3))^(-1)=3^1=3`

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

`G(1)=((1)/(3))^1=0.333`

`G(2)=((1)/(3))^2=0.111`

The graph of the function is shown below:
