CPM Homework Help : PC3 Problem 8-13

Copy and complete the following table for $g(x)=a^x$ , where $a>0$ .

$g\left(x\right)=a^x$	$0<a<1$	$a>1$
Example sketch
$\lim \limits _ { x \rightarrow \infty } g ( x )$
$\lim \limits _ { x \rightarrow - \infty } g ( x )$

Hint:

$g\left(x\right)=a^x$	$0<a<1$	$a>1$
Example sketch	$g\left(x\right)=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^x$	$g\left(x\right)=2^x$
$\lim \limits _ { x \rightarrow \infty } g ( x )$
$\lim \limits _ { x \rightarrow - \infty } g ( x )$
