I was given a problem in summer class today. The teacher said:
Graph: y = -3^x
MY WORK:
1) I created an x and y table.
2) I ploted different values for x to form (x,y) points.
3) I used my calculator to simplify the exponential function.
However, I did NOT get the correct picture of the function.
I got a picture of what looks like an asymptote moving to the right and upward from point (-3, -1/27) to point (0,1). What am I doing wrong?
