The transformed function is horizontally translated
Explanation:
So the parent function is
graph{5^x [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
With the transformed function of
- The
#d# -value. Tells us how far the function translate from the left to right, however, you have to isolate the value from the exponent. In this case, the function is translated#1# unit to the left. - The
#k# -value. Tells us the vertical translations of the function. In this case, the function is translated#2# units down.
As a result, the function looks like this:
graph{5^(x+1) - 2 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}
Note that the
