How do you draw graphs of e^f(x), loge f(x), and lnf(x) by just looking at the graph f(x). This is graph f(x):

pretty sure this is mx2 not mx1, but yeah.

is there another side to this graph, ie the other part of the hyperbola in the opposite quadrant?

Yeah, this is mx2 graphing.

but anyway: in general, apply the characteristics of the function (eg the 'e' characteristics) to the y values of f(x).

anyways, the graph will be e^(3/x), so as x gets really small but greater than zero, the hyperbola will approach the y axis with an asymptote at x=0 [basically a steep hyperbola for the first quadrant], and [for x<0] therefore an open circle at x=0 and a line from this open circle that approaches y=1 from the bottom.

loge f(x) and ln f(x) are the same thing.

it will pass through the x-axis at x=3, and then basically be an upside down log fn.

you get these questions more when you don't get the actual equation, just the graph of it.

one for one side right (x > 0), but wat if you were to consider the whole graph.
i know not in the question, but just hypothetically speaking, considering the whole graph of xy = 3, graph the e ^(f(x)).

interesting looking graph.

no, that bolded part is for x<0, i did consider the whole graph.

It looks like this (see attachment)

Red is y = 3/x

Blue is e3/x
