Answered by maham237 @



Solution:

\text{Given: }f(x)=-2(3)^x

We are an exponential function.

y=ab^x

If a<0 and b>1 then graph is decreasing.

If a>0 and b<1 then graph is decreasing.

If a<0 and b<1 then graph is increasing.

If a>0 and b>1 then graph is increasing.

\text{We have a function }f(x)=-2(3)^x

Here a=-2<0 and b=3>1 therefore, f(x) is decreasing.

Horizontal asymptote , y=0

x-intercept: Doesn't not exist

y-intercept: (0,-2)

Using above information we will draw the graph f(x)

We make table of x and y for different value of x

x y

-2 -0.22

-1 -0.67

0 -2

1 -6

2 -18

Plot these points on graph and join the points.

Please see the attachment to see the graph.
