26 Here is a sketch of the graph of \(\quad y = 5^x\)

Sketch of y = 5 to the power x: an increasing curve that approaches the negative x-axis and crosses the y-axis above O

In parts (a) and (b) the sketch of \(\quad y = 5^x \quad\) is shown as a dashed line.

(a) On the axes below, sketch the graph of \(\quad y = -5^x\) [1 mark]
Axes with the graph of y = 5 to the power x shown as a dashed curve
(b) On the axes below, sketch the graph of \(\quad y = 5^x - 1\) [1 mark]
Axes with the graph of y = 5 to the power x shown as a dashed curve
