Question 1159561: Consider the curve described by the equation below,
y = e^2x + 3.
a) Sketch a rough graph of this curve. Clearly label the x and y axis,
label the points where the curve crosses any axis. Draw a dashed line on
the graph to indicate any asymptotes, find the equation of any asymptotes
b) Find the equation of the straight line stated below,
y = mx + c,
that is a tangent to the curve at the point x = 0. State the value of the
gradient m and the y intercept c.
in which case you should have written y = e^(2x) + 3
or did you mean:
in which case you should have written y = e^(2x + 3)
I rejected the third possible interpretation of your utterly ambiguous post which was:
because you called the graph a curve and this interpretation would result in a straight line with a slope of e squared.
So your first lesson is to learn to use parentheses appropriately so that we don't have to guess what you mean.

I recommend that you read all of them.
