Sketch the graph of

                                               f( x ) = e^x .

Solution

Let's build up first a table of values for this function.

To obtain these evaluation (with the exception of x= 0 ) you will have to use a calculator. Actually, that is part of the point of this instance.  Ensure that you can run your calculator & verify these numbers.

Following is a sketch of this graph.

Notice that this is an increasing graph as we have to expect since e = 2.718281827.... 1.
