You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the graph looks like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "whehn x = 0, h(x) and k(x) both equal 1.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in the graph, h(x) is equal to y and k(x) is equal to y.
\n" ); document.write( "this is done for graphing purposes.
\n" ); document.write( "the coordinates are in (x,y) format.
\n" ); document.write( "x is the value of the coordinate point along the x-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "y is the value of the coordinate point along the y-axis.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a table of values can be created as shown below;\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "x            h(x) = 3^x        k(x) = 5^x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "0                1                 1\r\n" );
document.write( "1                3                 5\r\n" );
document.write( "2                9                 25\r\n" );
document.write( "3                27                125\r\n" );
document.write( "
\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "not shown on the graph are the values when x is negaive.
\n" ); document.write( "as the value of x becomes more negative, both equations will get closer to 0, but will never be equal to 0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is because 1 divided by any positive number can never be equal to 0, no matter how large that positive number is.\r
