The question involves identifying the transformation from the parent function $h(x) = 2^x$ to the transformed function $j(x) = 2^x + 5$.

Explanation:

• Parent function: $h(x) = 2^x$
• Transformed function: $j(x) = 2^x + 5$

When we add a constant $+5$ to the function, it represents a vertical shift upwards by 5 units.

Correct Answer:

The parent function is transformed by Shifting Up 5.

Do you need further details on why this is the case, or have additional questions?

Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

1. What happens if we subtract 5 instead of adding it?
2. How does horizontal shifting differ from vertical shifting?
3. How can we graphically see a shift upwards?
4. What transformation occurs when we multiply by a negative constant?
5. Can you explain the difference between vertical stretching and shifting?

Tip: Adding or subtracting from the function itself (outside the exponent) will always result in a vertical transformation.
