1. Evaluate the exponential equation for three positive values of x, three negative values of x, and at x=0. Transform the second expression into the equivalent logarithmic equation; and evaluate the logarithmic equation for three values of x that are greater than 1, three values of x that are between 0 and 1, and at x=1. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph of each function; y=2^x, x=2^y

8. Evaluate the exponential function for three positive values of x, three negative values of x, and at x=0. Show your work. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph; State the domain and the range of the function.
f(x) = e^-x -1

first equatioon is y = 2^x

values of x are:

-3
-2
-1
0
1
2
3

when x = -3, 2^x = 2^(-3) = 1/2^3 = 1/8

when x = -2, 2^x = 2^(-2) = 1/2^2 = 1/4

when x = -1, 2^x = 2^(-1) = 1/2^1 = 1/2

when x = 0, 2^x = 2^0 = 1

when x = 1, 2^x = 2^1 = 2

when x = 2, 2^x = 2^2 = 4

when x = 3, 2^x = 2^3 = 8

graph of the equation looks like this:



---------------------------------------------------------------------------

x = 2^y if and only if

this is the same as

values for x are:

.1
.4
.7
1
2
3
4

when x = .1, y = = =

when x = .4, y = = =

when x = .7, y = = =

when x = 1, y = = =

when x = 2, y = = =

when x = 3, y = = =

when x = 4, y = = =

graph of this equation looks like this:



----------------------------------------------------------------------------

graph of both equations together looks like this:



since the equation of y = 2^x is the inverse of equation x = 2^y, these equations are symmetric about the line y = x as shown in the graph.

8. Evaluate the exponential function for three positive values of x, three negative values of x, and at x=0. Show your work. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph; State the domain and the range of the function.
f(x) = e^-x -1

equation is

values of x are:

-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3

when x = -3, equation becomes = = 19.08553692

when x = -2, equation becomes = = 6.389056099

when x = -1, equation becomes = = 1.718281828

when x = 0, equation becomes = 0

when x = 1, equation becomes = -.632120559

when x = 2, equation becomes = -.864664717

when x = 3, equation becomes = -.950212932

graph of equation looks like this:



the domain of the equation is all real values of x.

the range of the equation is all real values of y > -1

x will never be less then or equal to -1.
