Answer:
We know that Amber decided to mail copies of her photo to the 45 residents of her grandmother's assisted living facility, and after this, the function representing the photo shares is:
f(x) = 3*(4)^x + 45
We do not know the initial function, but with the given information we can assume that the original equation is:
g(x) = 3*(4)^x
Then the new function is:
f(x) = g(x) + 45.
This is a vertical translation, remember that for a function h(x), a vertical translation of N units is written as:
k(x) = h(x) + N
if N is positive, we have a translation of N units up
if N is negative, we have a translation of N units down.
in this case we have;
f(x) = g(x) + 45
This means that f(x) is a vertical translation of 45 units of g(x), then:
the graph of the new function is 45 units above the original function.
