Math Problem Statement
Solution
From the graph you provided and the base function , it appears that the transformed function involves a vertical stretch and possibly a horizontal shift.
Analyzing the Graph:
- The graph passes through the point (0, 3), indicating a vertical stretch.
- The original function passes through (0, 1).
Transformation Observation:
- Given and , substituting into the transformation, we have: So, .
Concluding the Equation: The equation of the transformed function in terms of the function is:
Would you like to know more about how transformations affect the graph of exponential functions, or do you have any other questions on this topic? Here are some follow-up queries you might find helpful:
- What would the graph look like if we also shifted horizontally?
- How do reflections across the x-axis or y-axis affect the graph of ?
- Can you explain the effect of changing the base of the exponential function from to another base like 2 or 10?
- How would adding a vertical shift modify the equation and graph of ?
- What is the effect of a horizontal compression on the graph of an exponential function?
Tip: When analyzing transformations of functions, always consider how each transformation—shifts, stretches, compressions, and reflections—affects the original graph in both shape and position.
