1. Problem Description

The problem requires us to analyze the exponential function f(x)=32xf(x) = 3 \cdot 2^x and potentially graph it. The graph grid is provided.

2. Solution Steps

Let's analyze the function and calculate a few points to sketch the graph.
When x=0x = 0, f(0)=320=31=3f(0) = 3 \cdot 2^0 = 3 \cdot 1 = 3. So the point (0,3)(0, 3) is on the graph.
When x=1x = 1, f(1)=321=32=6f(1) = 3 \cdot 2^1 = 3 \cdot 2 = 6. So the point (1,6)(1, 6) is on the graph.
When x=2x = 2, f(2)=322=34=12f(2) = 3 \cdot 2^2 = 3 \cdot 4 = 12. So the point (2,12)(2, 12) is on the graph.
When x=3x = 3, f(3)=323=38=24f(3) = 3 \cdot 2^3 = 3 \cdot 8 = 24. This point is outside of our grid.
When x=1x = -1, f(1)=321=312=32=1.5f(-1) = 3 \cdot 2^{-1} = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5. So the point (1,1.5)(-1, 1.5) is on the graph.
When x=2x = -2, f(2)=322=314=34=0.75f(-2) = 3 \cdot 2^{-2} = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} = 0.75. So the point (2,0.75)(-2, 0.75) is on the graph.
The graph will pass through (0,3)(0, 3), (1,6)(1, 6), (2,12)(2, 12), (1,1.5)(-1, 1.5), and (2,0.75)(-2, 0.75). As xx gets more negative, f(x)f(x) approaches
0.

3. Final Answer

The function is f(x)=32xf(x) = 3 \cdot 2^x. Some points on the graph are (0, 3), (1, 6), (2, 12), (-1, 1.5), and (-2, 0.75). As x decreases, the function approaches
0.
