Exercise 1.5.2(a)
Exercise 1.5.2(a). Plot several points and sketch the graph of y = 3x .
Solution. Consider the function values:
x −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3
f (x) 3−3 = 1/27 3−2 = 1/9 3−1 = 1/3 30 = 1 31 = 3 32 = 9 33 = 27

Exercise 1.5.8(a)
Exercise 1.5.8(a)
Exercise 1.5.8(a). Sketch the shifted exponential curve y = 3x + 2.
Solution. We simply shift
the graph of y = 3x from
Exercise 1.5.2(a) up
by 2 units (because
of the “+2”).
Notice that the graph
of y = 3x + 2 has a
horizontal asymptote of
y = 2.
Exercise 1.5.8(a)
Exercise 1.5.8(a). Sketch the shifted exponential curve y = 3x + 2.
Solution. We simply shift
the graph of y = 3x from
Exercise 1.5.2(a) up
by 2 units (because
of the “+2”).
Notice that the graph
of y = 3x + 2 has a
horizontal asymptote of
y = 2.
