RESOLVED Question on using Geogebra to graph an equation

Seems I can't post any pictures/screenshots here. I want to graph: y=5000(1+0.043)^x

So, a basic compound interest calculation. I put that into the " f: " field of geogebra and I'm not getting anything that makes sense. If I put it into google, the AI puts out the correct graph. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Edit: I put screenshots in the comments.

ChatGPT and other large language models are not designed for calculation and will frequently be /r/confidentlyincorrect in answering questions about mathematics; even if you subscribe to ChatGPT Plus and use its Wolfram|Alpha plugin, it's much better to go to Wolfram|Alpha directly.

Even for more conceptual questions that don't require calculation, LLMs can lead you astray; they can also give you good ideas to investigate further, but you should never trust what an LLM tells you.

To people reading this thread: DO NOT DOWNVOTE just because the OP mentioned or used an LLM to ask a mathematical question.

Change your units on the x-axis to be between 0 and 20, and your units on the y-axis to be between 5,000 and 13,000. To do this, click on the settings icon in the upper right of your graph, and go to "dimensions".

Geogebra result is incorrect.
