Math Problem Statement

y=3^x-6/x for "-2<x<2.5" draw graph

Solution

Here's the graph of the function y=3x6xy = 3^x - \frac{6}{x} over the interval 2<x<2.5-2 < x < 2.5. The vertical dashed line indicates the asymptote at x=0x = 0, where the function is undefined.

Would you like a detailed analysis of this graph, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions that might deepen your understanding:

  1. What happens to the function as xx approaches zero from both the left and the right?
  2. How does the exponential component 3x3^x affect the overall shape of the graph?
  3. What are the critical points of this function within the given interval?
  4. How does changing the base of the exponential (e.g., from 3 to another number) alter the graph?
  5. Can you find the intervals where the function is increasing or decreasing?

Tip: When dealing with functions containing both exponential and rational terms, look out for potential vertical asymptotes and sharp changes in behavior around points of division by zero.
