Help with this graphing question?
Let f(x) = 3^x. Calculate f(4), f(3), f(2), f(1), f(0) and any other points desired to plot and connect for a smooth curve. Be sure to label the graph.

If anyone could figure this out and make a graph, that would be great... thank you:)
f(4) = 3x3x3x3 = 81
so on the XY graph you place a dot at point (4,81) i.e., where x=4, y=81
now do the same for another half dozen or so points, then join the dots with a smooth curve.
I'm uncertain whether the wording is hinting that you should venture into negative integer x values. Perhaps extend to negative values ony after you have plotted it for positive integer x values.

This is an exponental graph.......here is a picture with a table of values for some selected points....https://www.desmos.com/calculator/seqroxz44z
