This question involves using a calculator's functions to convert numbers through mathematical operations.

• Use the exp function to convert 0 to 1: exp(0) = 1.

• Square the result of 1 to get 2: 1^2 = 1.

• Use the square root function to convert 2 to 3: sqrt(2) ≈ 1.414, which is not 3.

• To convert 3 to -3, use the inverse of the square function: -sqrt(3) ≈ -1.732.

Graph of x+(1/x) is a hyperbola with two branches.

• The graph consists of two branches, one in the first quadrant and one in the third quadrant.

• As x approaches positive or negative infinity, the graph approaches the x-axis.

• The graph has a vertical asymptote at x=0.

• The minimum value of the function is 2 when x=1 or x=-1.
