Please solve each problem with a detailed solution showing each step to solve the problem. Since the symbols confuse me at times please use "baby" math to show how to get from the start to the end. I understand the book in some ways, but the more I see completed the better I can think about the rest of the problems I need to do. Also, if you type it all back to me, not a scanned print of your help, please keep things separated and neat please. Also, I am a returning adult student - you may know this stuff inside and out, but I do not. Thanks!

Inverse function problems:

For the following graph the given functions on a computer screen, how are these graphs related?

1) Y=2^x, y=e^x, y=5^x, y=20^x
The graph of each of the function is draw on the following graph.

By looking at the graph, we see that each all the functions are exponential functions.

2) Y=3^x, y=10^x, y=(1/3)^x, y=(1/10)^x

From the graph we see that 3^x and (1/3)^x are inverse to each other. Similarly 10^x and (1/10)^x are inverse to each other.

Make a sketch of the function.

7) y=4^x-3
Solution:
First draw the graph of y = 4^x.
If you subtract 3 from the function, then the graph 4^x -3 will be shifted 3 units down.

8) y=-2x^-x
Solution:
Here the basic function is y=x^(-x).
The graph of x^(-x) is the following.

Then multiply the function by 2, the graph is stretches by 2 units.

Now, multiply 2x^(-x) by -1. Then the graph is reflected about x axis.

9) y=3-e^x
Solution:
Here ...
