\[g(x)=f(x-h)\] is a function shifted h units horizontally. if h is positive, then it's a shift to the right and if h is negative, it's a shift to the left. h = the value of x that makes (x-h) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+3 is the exponent so would the 3 shift 3 up?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... let \[f(x) =4\left( 2 \right)^x\text{ then }g(x) = f(x+3)=4\left( 2 \right)^{x+3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so since its in parentheses it wud shift 3 units down?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, did you read what i wrote first?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o ok it shifts to the right according to what you said right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is h?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

positive 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 3 + 3 = 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o no its negative 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what's the shift?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

left 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, good!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok than you
