Make yourself a little 3-column table. Label the first column with

. Label the second column with

. Label the third column with

Pick several values for

. They can be anything you like, but small integers generally work best in most situations. Make sure some of them are negative values. List them in ascending order in the first column of your table.

For each entry in the first column, take the value you chose and insert it into your function in place of the

. Use your calculator to do the indicated arithmetic and then write the result in the

column.

When you have calculated

for all of your values of

, create an ordered pair for each row of the table by taking the

value from the first column and the

value from the second column and writing the ordered pair

in the third column.

Plot all of your ordered pairs on your graph paper and then draw a smooth line through the plotted points.

Your final result should be a curve that is asymptotic to the negative

-axis, passes through the point

, and takes off quickly, increasing without bound as you get into the positive values of
