Question 557968: I'm stuck with this one question. This is pretty much the only part of the course that i seem to be struggling with. Pretty much done after this. Hopefully someone could give me some direction with this question

Create a table of values for each of the following functions: y=3x,y=3x^2, and y=3^x use the values of x from 0 to 5
graph the three functions on the same set of axes. clearly identify each function with the corresponding equation.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the graph of your equations looks like the following:
graph%28600%2C600%2C-10%2C10%2C-100%2C100%2C3x%2C3x%5E2%2C3%5Ex%29
the straight line is y = 3x
the line that looks like the letter u is y = 3x^2
that's a quadratic equation.
the line that looks like it goes from 0 all the way to the left to a very high number all the way to the right is y = 3^x
that's an exponential equation.
a table of values from -5 to 5 would look like this:
x      y = 3x     y = 3x^2     y = 3^x
-5     -15        75           .004115226 = 3^(-5) = 1/3^5 = 1/243
-4     -12        48           .012345679 = 3^(-4) = 1/3^4 = 1/81
-3     -9         27           .037037037 = 3^(-3) = 1/3^3 = 1/27
-2     -6         12           .111111111 = 3^(-2) = 1/3^2 = 1/9
-1     -3         3            .333333333 = 3^(-1) = 1/3   = 1/3
0      0          0            1
1      3          3            3
2      6          12           9
3      9          27           27
4      12         48           81
5      15         75           243
