Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Function

The given function is \( f(x) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 5^x \). This is an exponential function where the base is 5 and the coefficient is \(\frac{3}{2}\).

Step 2: Choose Points to Plot

To graph the function, we need to choose two points. Let's choose \( x = 0 \) and \( x = 1 \) to find the corresponding \( y \)-values.

Step 3: Calculate \( f(0) \)

Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the function: \[ f(0) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 5^0 = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 1 = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \] So, the point is \( (0, 1.5) \).

Step 4: Calculate \( f(1) \)

Substitute \( x = 1 \) into the function: \[ f(1) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 5^1 = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 5 = \frac{15}{2} = 7.5 \] So, the point is \( (1, 7.5) \).

Final Answer

The coordinates of the two points to plot the function \( f(x) = \frac{3}{2} \cdot 5^x \) are:

  1. \( (0, 1.5) \)
  2. \( (1, 7.5) \)
