Learn how to graph an exponential equation with a new y intercept and no transformations

The video tutorial covers the importance of following the order of operations in mathematical calculations. It provides examples of solving equations with positive and negative exponents, demonstrating how to plot points on a graph. The tutorial also discusses the characteristics of graphs, such as intercepts and asymptotes, and explains how changing the coefficient affects the graph's appearance.

What is the correct order of operations when evaluating the expression y = 2 * 2^2?

• Subtract first, then raise to the power

• Add first, then multiply

• Raise to the power first, then multiply

• Multiply first, then raise to the power

If y = 2 * 2^(-2), what is the value of y?

• 1/4

• 1/2

• 2

• 4

What is the y-intercept of the graph when plotting the points from the given values?

• (0, 2)

• (2, 0)

• (0, 1)

• (1, 0)

How does changing the coefficient 'a' from 1 to another value affect the graph's intercept?

• The intercept remains the same

• The intercept changes to (0, 2)

• The graph becomes a straight line

• The graph does not change

What should you use to ensure accurate graphing when the coefficient 'a' is not equal to 1?

• A calculator

• A table of values

• A ruler

• A protractor
