Math Problem Statement

g(x)= e^(x+2) - 1

Solution

The given function is:

g(x)=ex+21g(x) = e^{x+2} - 1

Key Insights about this function:

  1. Exponential Form: The expression ex+2e^{x+2} is an exponential function. The base ee is approximately 2.718, and it grows exponentially as xx increases.
  2. Translation: The function has been shifted horizontally by 2 units to the left due to the term x+2x + 2 inside the exponent. Additionally, the subtraction of 1 shifts the graph downward by 1 unit.

Would you like help with any specific operations related to this function, such as finding its derivative, integral, or evaluating it at specific points?


Related Questions:

  3. How do you find the inverse of the function g(x)g(x)?
  4. How would you graph g(x)g(x) using key points and transformations?
  5. How do you integrate this function g(x)g(x)?

Tip: When dealing with exponential functions, remember that transformations such as shifts inside the exponent affect the graph in a way similar to how they would affect polynomials, but the growth remains exponentially fast.
