Question 250604: Evaluate the exponential equation 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 equation of the line asymptotic to the graph (if any). Please help solve, and I will graph it.
y = 5 ^x-3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Here is your original equation: y = 5 ^x-3.
Let's create a table of values:
x . . . -3 . . . . -2 . . . . -1 . . . .0 . . . . .1 . . . . .2 . . . . .3
y . . (-2.992) . . (-2.96) . .(-2.8) . (-2) . . . 2 . . . . .22 . . . . 122.
There is a horizontal asymptote at Y = -3.
