Understanding Exponential Functions

The video tutorial explains how to evaluate the function f(x) = 3 * 2^(x + 1) for different values of x, including -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2. It demonstrates the substitution process for each value, simplifies the expressions, and calculates the function values. The tutorial then shows how to plot these values on a graph, forming ordered pairs. It concludes by discussing the domain and range of the function, emphasizing that the function approaches zero but never reaches it, and increases without bound.
