Question

Which of the following is the function representing the graph below?

graph begins in the second quadrant near the line y equals 3 and increases slowly while crossing the ordered pair 0, 4. When the graph enters the first quadrant, it begins to increase quickly throughout the graph.

Answer 1

options are
A. f(x)=4^x
B. f(x)=4^x-3
c. f(x)=4^x+3
d. f(x)=4^(x+3)

Answer 2

Hint: when x = 0 , 4^x = 1

Answer 3

- also the graph intersects the x axis at y = 4

Answer 4

so would it be A?

Answer 5

* correction - intersects the y-axis at y = 4

Answer 6

if it wers A what would be the value of f(x) (that is y) when x = 0

Answer 7

f(x) = 4^0 = ?

Answer 8

i have no clue...

Answer 9

as i said in my first post 4^0 = 1 anything to the power 0 = 1
if a was correct then the graph would pass through f(x) = 1 so it cant be A

Answer 10

- that is a would pass through (0,1) - but it passes through f(x) at the point (0,4) so the whole graph has risen how many units from (0,1)?

Answer 11

okay so would it be c?

Answer 12

Yes + 3 rises it up 3 units

Answer 13

c is correct

Answer 14

thank you so much
