Question

How does the graph y=3^x compare to the graph y=3^-x

Answer 1

Answer:

Y = 3x^x is a graph that has exponential growth while y = 3^-x has exponential decay.

Y = 3x^x (-∞, 0) and (∞, ∞).

Y = 3x^-x (-∞, ∞) and (∞, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

The infinity symbols were being used to represent the x and y values of each graph. I will call y = 3^x "graph 1" and y = 3^-x "graph 2".

When graph 1 had positive ∞ for its x value, its y value was reaching towards positive ∞. When its x was reaching for negative ∞, its y was going for 0.

For graph 2, however, when its x was reaching for positive ∞, its x was reaching for 0. When its x was reaching for negative ∞, its y was going for positive ∞.

Here's an image of the graphs:
