Explanation:

Set y=2^x - 3y=2x3

At y=0"; "2^x=3y=0; 2x=3

Taking logs

xlog(2)=log(3) => x=log(3)/(log(2)) ~~1.58 xlog(2)=log(3)x=log(3)log(2)1.58 to 2 decimal places
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At x=0"; "y" "=" "2^0-3" " ->" "y" "=" " 1-3x=0; y = 203 y = 13

y" "=" "-2y = 2
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lim_(x->+oo)y= lim_(x->+oo)2^x-3 ->oo-3=oo

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lim_(x->-oo) y=lim_(x->-oo)2^x-3 ->0-3=-3

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
