Answer:

See the explanation

Explanation:

The function given to us is:

f(x) = (1/3)⁻ˣ

We can convert the negative power into positive one by interchanging the numerator and denominator.

f(x) = (3/1)ˣ

f(x) = 3ˣ

Substitute value for x= -3 , -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

f(-3) = 3⁻³ = 0.037

f(-2) = 3⁻² = 0.111

f(-1) = 3⁻¹ = 0.333

f(0) = 3⁰ = 1

f(1) = 3¹ = 3

f(2) = 3² = 9

f(3) = 3³ = 27

f(4) = 3⁴ = 81

and so on

The table of the found values of f(x) or y for the corresponding values of x, along with their graph is given below.
