Question 589682: I'm in alegebra 1 and i cant figure out how to make a function so that i can graph an equation. one of the problems look like y=4 with an x as an exponent. I've read through the book but i still cant seem to understand any of it. It doesnt describe how to put it in a function. I know how to graph it . I just dont know how to make it into a function.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! a function so that i can graph an equation.
one of the problems look like y=4 with an x as an exponent.
:
f(x) =
:
y = f(x)
:
graph this equation
y =
:
Make a table of x=0 to x=3
x | y | calculation
----------
0 | 1 | any number with a 0 exponent is = 1
1 | 4 | 4^1 = 4
2 |16 | 4^2 = 16
3 |64 | 4^3 = 64
:
Plot these x,y points
:
Should look like this
