Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f(x)= -2(3)^x +1
:
= 0
= -1
divide both sides by -2
=
:
= .5
using nat logs
x*ln(3) = ln(.5)
x =
x = -.631
:
To graph this make a table of values starting with x=-2, the every half unit to x=+2
Using a calc:
y = -2(3^-2) + 1
y = -2(.111) + 1
y = .777
Find y for each value of x,
x | y
-------
-2.0|.78
-1.5|.62
-1.0|.33
-0.5|-.15
0.0 |-1.0
+0.5|-2.5
+1.0|-5
+1.5|-9.4
+2.0|-17
Your graph should look alot like this
