You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1. Evaluate the exponential equation for three values of x greater than -4, three values of x smaller than -4, and at x=-4. Use the resulting ordered pairs to plot the graph, state the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph.
\n" ); document.write( "Y= 3^(x+4).
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -7 you get (-7,1/27)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -6 you get (-6,1/9)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -5, y = 3^-1 = 1/3 giving you point (-5,1/3)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -4, y = 3^0 = 1 giving you point (-4,1)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -3, y = 3 giving you point (-3,3)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -2, y = 9 giving you pont (-2,9)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = -1, y = 27 giving you pont (-1,27)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The asymptote is y = 0
