f%28x%29=1-e%5E%28-x%29
f%28x%29=1-1%2Fe%5Ex
make a table:
x| f%28x%29
-4| -53.59...f%28-4%29=1-1%2Fe%5E%28-4%29=1-1%2F%281%2Fe%5E4%29=1-e%5E4=1-54.59=-53.59
-3| -19.08....f%28-3%29=1-1%2Fe%5E%28-3%29=1-1%2F%281%2Fe%5E3%29=1-e%5E3=1-20.08=-19.08
-2| -6.39....f%28-2%29=1-1%2Fe%5E%28-2%29=1-1%2F%281%2Fe%5E2%29=1-e%5E2=1-7.39=-6.39
0| 0....f%280%29=1-1%2Fe%5E%280%29=1-1%2F1=1-1=0
2| 0.86....f%282%29=1-1%2Fe%5E%282%29=1-1%2F7.39=1-0.14=0.86
3| 0.95....f%283%29=1-1%2Fe%5E%283%29=1-1%2F20.08=1-0.05=0.95
4| 0.98....f%284%29=1-1%2Fe%5E%284%29=1-1%2F54.59=1-0.018=0.98
plot these pints and draw a line through
