1. The problem is to graph the function $$y=2^x$$ over the interval $$[-3,3]$$ and identify the correct graph.
2. The function $$y=2^x$$ is an exponential growth function where the base 2 is greater than 1.
3. Important properties:
- At $$x=0$$, $$y=2^0=1$$.
- For negative $$x$$, $$y=2^x$$ approaches 0 but never reaches it.
- For positive $$x$$, $$y=2^x$$ increases rapidly.
4. Evaluate key points:
- $$y( -3 )=2^{-3}=\frac{1}{2^3}=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$$
- $$y(0)=1$$
- $$y(3)=2^3=8$$
5. The graph should pass through points $$(-3,0.125)$$, $$(0,1)$$, and $$(3,8)$$.
6. The shape is an increasing curve starting near zero on the left and rising steeply on the right.
7. Among the options:
- Graph A and C are parabolas, which do not match exponential growth.
- Graph D is an increasing exponential curve but positioned center-right.
- Graph B is the exponential growth curve positioned top-left, matching the description.
8. Therefore, the correct graph is B.
Final answer: The correct graph for $$y=2^x$$ on $$[-3,3]$$ is graph B.
