Learning Objective

I can graph exponential functions and identify their key features.

  • 1

    The initial value of the exponential function h(x) = 27 * (1/3)^x is 27, which is the value of h(x) when x equals 0.

  • 2

    To graph the exponential function, you can define two points and a horizontal asymptote.

  • 3

    As x becomes very large, the function h(x) = 27 * (1/3)^x approaches 0, indicating a horizontal asymptote at y = 0.
