Y = 3^x - 1/27
To simplify the expression, we first note that 1/27 can be written as 3^(-3). So, the expression can be rewritten as:
Y = 3^x - 3^(-3)
Using the rule for subtracting exponents with the same base, we can combine the terms to get:
Y = 3^x - 3^3
As 3^3 equals 27, the expression simplifies to:
Y = 3^x - 27
Y = 3^x - 1/27
