Given #g(x)=e^x +3#, how do you describe the transformation? Precalculus Functions Defined and Notation Introduction to Twelve Basic Functions 1 Answer sjc Jan 24, 2017 #g(x)=e^x+3# is a translation of #e^x# by the vector #((0),(3))# Explanation: In general #f(x+a)+b# is a translation of #f(x)# by the vector #((-a),(b))# so #g(x)=e^x+3# is a translation of #e^x# by the vector #((0),(3))# Answer link Related questions What are the twelve basic functions?
