Please show me how we plot this graph?
\(Y=5.5^x+1\)
thank you kindly...
Hi Jurimagic,
It is an exponential graph.
5.5 to the power of anything must be bigger than 0
and so (5.5 ^x)+1 must be bigger than 1
As x get big in the positive direction y gets VERY big.
When x=0 y=2 (edited)
As x tends to negative infinity, y gets closer to 1 (but it will always be bigger than 1)
so
y=1 is an asymptote.
Here is your graph

Hi Melody,
gosh I always tend to overthink things...it's really very simple....I should apologise for waisting your time on something like this......sorry..
