how do i solve this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The graph of f(x) = 2^(x + 4) shifts five units to the right when it is replaced with the graph of f(x) = 2^(x - k). What is the value of k?

multiply 4 to find out what x equals use 2

OpenStudy (misty1212):

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

five units to the right means subtract 5 in the exponent

OpenStudy (misty1212):

that gives you \(2^{x-1}\) making \(k=1\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh ok i was thinking -1 or 1

OpenStudy (misty1212):

it actually asks for \(k\) in \(x-k\) so go with 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh ok
