We are required to graph the exponential function:
[tex]f(x)=4(\frac{5}{4})^x[/tex]
First, we determine the five points which we plot on the graph.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{When x=-1, }f(-1)=4(\frac{5}{4})^{-1}=3.2\text{ }\implies(-1,3.2) \\ \text{When x=0, }f(0)=4(\frac{5}{4})^0=4\text{ }\implies(0,4) \\ \text{When x=1, }f(1)=4(\frac{5}{4})^1=5\implies(1,5) \\ \text{When x=2, }f(2)=4(\frac{5}{4})^2=6.25\implies(2,6.25) \\ \text{When x=3, }f(3)=4(\frac{5}{4})^3=7.8125\text{ }\implies(3,7.8125) \end{gathered}[/tex]
Next, we plot the points on the graph.
This is the graph of the given exponential function.
