Practice Exercise: Unconstrained Growth
Let us evaluate some exponential functions using Python. For the expression y = 4 * 2, generate a set of values for y using values of x from -4 to 10 in increments of 1. Plot a graph of the relationship.
Now try varying the constant and observe what happens to the graph. Do the same thing, varying the exponential base. Finally, change the exponent to a negative number. How does each change impact the form and range of the graph?
