I have to research this first, one sec.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll be baaaaaack

x+1 moves the graph to the left 1 unit

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the exponent be 3^(-x-1) though for f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know what you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@brinethery ... yes ... I'm getting different graphs ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh nm... sorry about that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to plug in values to see which one is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think google is perfect, I'm sure yours is right. I'll bust out my calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= 3^x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I graphed 3^-x on purpose. But for g(x), I just typed it differently. g(x) = -2+3x^(-x-1) and it worked perfectly this time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know for sure -2 brings the graph down two units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the negative exponent flips the function over y axis -2 moves the graph down two units

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:-) I'm glad you were here b/c kk summoned me and I wasn't sure how to do this at first... it's been a long time.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I can see that with the -2. Seems like the -1 in g(x) doesn't affect things much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Flipping the graph and shifting it = close enough ;-)

@mathg8 is a great explainer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

down 2, left 1 , flipped over y axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nm, I'll just re-read about them later.
