Graph as a transformation of the parent function:
y = -2)^x+3

What is the parent function? how do I graph it?

Answer 1

Is this ---> y = -2)^x+3 supposed to be y = (-2)^x + 3 ?

Or, maybe y = -2^x+3

Answer 2

no... sorry y = -2(5)^x

Answer 3

The negative portion of the (-2) will cause the graph to do a flip and move from quads I and II to quads III and IV. It is a reflection about the x-axis with the proviso that the functional values of y = -2(5)^x are two times as small as the corresponding y values of the original parent function y = -(5)^x.

You can see the two graphs here:
