Answer: False, this is not the graph of f(x) = 3^x

=====================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in x = 0 to get

f(x) = 3^x

f(0) = 3^0

f(0) = 1

That means (0,1) is on the graph. So far so good.

-------

But let's try x = 1

f(x) = 3^x

f(1) = 3^1

f(1) = 3

Meaning (1,3) should be on the graph of y = 3^x. Instead, the graph shows (1,4) is on the red curve. We don't have a match.

The red curve shows the equation y = 4^x.
