Transcript text: Use the graphing window below to graph the function
\[
f(x)=\frac{3}{2} \cdot 5^{x}
\]
Choose the coordinates of two points, shown in red, to plot $f(x).
Solution
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:
