The exponential function f, whose graph is given below, can be written as
1 answer:
Answer:
f(x) = 2·3^x
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the general equation of exponential functions as
y= a*b^x
We are given that the point (0,2) is on the graph so
when x= 0, y= 2
If we substitute in the general equation we see that
2 = a*b^0, any number to the power 0 is 1
2 = a
We were also given that point (1, 6 ) is on the graph;
If we substitute in our new found equation we see that
y=2·b^x
6 = 2·b^1 , any number to the power 1 is itself and
divide both sides by 2
3 = b
f(x) = 2·3^x

Given:
The parent function is
Consider the transformed function is g(x) instead of f(x) because both functions are different.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have,
It can be written as
...(i)
The translation is defined as
.... (ii)
Where, k is stretch factor, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.
If 0<|k|<1, then the graph compressed vertically by factor k and if |k|>1, then the graph stretch vertically by factor k.
If k is negative, then f(x) is reflected across the x-axis to get g(x).
If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.
If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.
On comparing (i) and (ii), we get
, f(x) shifts 4 units right.
, f(x) shifts 8 units down.
, it is negative so f(x) reflected across the x-axis.
, so f(x) stretched vertically by factor 5.
Therefore, the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, stretched vertically by factor 5 and shifted 4 units right 8 units down to get g(x).
