Question

If (-3, y) lies on the graph of y = 3^x, then y = -1 1/27 -27

Answer 1

Answer:

1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

If (-3, y) lies on the graph of y = 3^x, then we can find y by filling in the given x and calculating y

They gave us that x is -3 (the first number in an ordered pair is the x).

y = 3^x

y = 3^(-3)

y = 1/(3^3)

**You "fix" a negative exponent by pushing across a fraction bar; that changes the sign of an exponent**

y = 1/27

Because3^3 is 3×3×3 is 27
