Question

The function f(x) = (1/5) Superscript x is translated up 4 units. Which equation represents the translated function?

Answer 1

Answer:

g(x) = $(\frac{1}{5}) ^{x}$ + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) then f(x) + c represents a vertical translation of f(x)

• If c > 0 then a shift up of c units

• If c < 0 then a shift down of c units

Here f(x) is shifted up 4 units, thus translated function is

g(x) = f(x) + 4 = $(\frac{1}{5}) ^{x}$ + 4
