Question 1044571: construct a table of at least 4 ordered pairs of points on the graph of the function and use the ordered pairs from the table to sketch the graph of the function.
Pick any value you like for ; let's use 1 to start with. Then evaluate
Now that you know that when , . So fill in the first row of the table.
x | f(x)
--------------
1 | 8

Do the same thing with 3 other different values for
Once you have created 4 rows for your table, use the numbers in each row to create an ordered pair. Your first ordered pair is , and the others depend on the numbers you select for the other three values of
Once you have created all 4 of your ordered pairs, plot them on a graph and draw a smooth curve through them. Hint: if you want an accurate picture of the curve for this function, choose 0 and some negative number for two of your values.
