Try plotting three points on the curve.
When x+=+-1, +f%28-1%29+=+%283%2F4%29%5E-1, or f%28-1%29+=+4%2F3.
When x+=+0, f%280%29+=+%283%2F4%29%5E0, or f%280%29+=+1.
When x+=+1, +f%281%29+=+%283%2F4%29%5E1, or f%281%29+=+3%2F4.
Plotting these points would suggest that the graph is asymptotic with the positive x-axis. The graph decreases from left to right.
