| Question 250426:   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; submit the graph via the Dropbox. State the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph (if any).
 x=3^x-4 + 1
 Thank you for any help you can offer!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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; submit the graph via the Dropbox. State the equation of the line asymptotic to the graph (if any).
 y=3^(x-4) + 1
 --------------------
 If x = 4, y = 1+1 = 2; gives you point (4,2)
 ---
 If x = 5, y = 3+1 = 5; gives you point (5,5)
 ---
 If x = 3, y = (1/3) + 1 : gives you point (3,1.333)
 ---
 If x = 2, y = (1/9) + 1 ; gives you point (2,1.1111)
 -----------------------------------------------------------
 Asymptote: y = 1
