Graphing Exponential Functions

Use a table a values to sketch a graph of the exponential function f ( x) = 2 x . Make

sure to plug in positive and negative x-values.

What is the y-intercept?

What is the x-intercept?
What is the domain?
What is the range?
What value can you get really close to, but never actually get to (besides infinity)

Graph the following exponential functions. Fill in the properties
