You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Open up a spreadsheet in Excel. Put the numbers -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 into column A starting in cell A1. In cell B1 type: "=exp(A1)" (leave off the quotes). Then copy the contents of cell B1 into cells B2 through B7. That will give you a table of x values (column A) and y values (column B) that you can plot on graph paper. Your graph should look very much like:

Do you have a calculator?
Mine has e%5Ex on it. I can just
keep punching in x and then punch
e%5Ex You'll have x and y
If you don't have it, e+=+2.718, so
e%5E0+=+1 (anything to the 0 power is 1)
e%5E1+=+2.718
e%5E2+=+7.389
e%5E3+=+20.086
and also
e%5E-1+=+.3679
e%5E-2+=+.13533
e%5E-3+=+.04979
This is what your plot will look like:
+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-5%2C+6%2C+-5%2C+16%2C+2.718%5Ex%29+
