Ne4ueva [31]

The graph of the exponential function f(x) = 5(2)ˣ is as shown in the attached file.

<h3>How to draw the graph of an exponential Function?</h3>

We want to draw the graph of the exponential function;

f(x) = 5(2)ˣ

At input of x = 0, we have;

f(x) = 5(2)⁰ = 5

At input of x = 1, we have;

f(x) = 5(2)¹ = 10

At x = -1, we have;

f(x) = 5(2)⁻¹ = 2.5

At x = -2, we have;

f(x) = 5(2)⁻² = 1.25
