Return to Assignments Exponential functions and graphs
Assignment 1
Draw the graph of the function:
What is the formula of the asymptote?
Solution
The graph can be sketched using the most important and easiest point 
. The graph can be sketched quite exact if we use a few other points 
, see the figure.
The graph shows clearly that the 
-axis is an asymptote, so 
. This can also be derived from the function: the more negative 
becomes, the more the graph will approach 
.
