Question

g(x)= 4^x+3 +2 Halp Halp :( will medal

Answer 1

\[\large\rm g(x)=4^{x+3}+2\]What do we have to do with this function? :o

Answer 2

Graph it :( We have to pick 3 points but I chose 1 and got like 258

Answer 3

My graph only goes to 6... on the worksheet that is -_____-

Answer 4

It's an exponential, so it looks something like this :U

Answer 5

wait its not exponential?? lol ugh

Answer 6

Oh you're picking points and stuff? :)
Ok ok hmm

Answer 7

Yeah I mean it would look like that though. I tried -1 and got 18 which is still a big number :(

Answer 8

Ya, you don't want really big numbers.
So you would like to make the `exponent` as close to zero as possible.
So you want this x+3 to be somewhat small.

How bout x=-3?

Answer 9

18 isn't big, simmer down :) lol

Answer 10

Apparently for the graph it is lol

Answer 11

\(\large\rm (-3,?)\) what do you get for your y when plug in -3 for x?

Answer 12

Okay for -3 = 6 :) much better

Answer 13

Hmm that doesn't sound right.

Answer 14

No?

Answer 15

\[\large\rm g(-3)=4^{-3+3}+2\]\[\large\rm g(-3)=4^{0}+2\]4^0 is? :o

Answer 16

Oh, its 1. Fantastic Ima fail this lol :/

Answer 17

\(\large\rm (-3,3)\) mmm ok good that gives us one point :)
How about choosing another value that is really close by, like umm... -2?

Answer 18

Okay :) Lemme do it

Answer 19

its 6!!!!

Answer 20

\(\large\rm (-2,6)\)

Ahh there's that 6 :) lol

Answer 21

If x=-1 is giving you a value that is too big,
then you could try going the other direction I suppose,
x=-4

Answer 22

What if we do -4? Since -1 = 18 -___-

Answer 23

Okay doing it now :)

Answer 24

it comes out at 2.25

Answer 25

\(\large\rm (-4,2.25)\)

Yay good job \c:/

Answer 26

Graph em.. connect the dots :p go .. do it

Answer 27

Lol it looks kinda weird but I'll take it! It must be right.

Answer 28

What will be thr asymptote? :o

Answer 29

The normal asymptote for an exponential function will be the x-axis, which is y=0.
The +2 on the end of our function is a vertical shift up 2 units.
So hmm.. what will that do? :)

Answer 30

Oh no, theres more?!?! :(

Answer 31

y=2.25?? @zepdrix

Answer 32

Lol I knew you were gonna click on that other question, I clicked on it too. Great minds think alike :)

Answer 33

The +2 is shifting `everything` up by 2.
So it shifts the asymptote up by 2.

So instead of having an asymptote at y=0,
you'll have an asymptote at y=2.

Answer 34

Thank you, thank you!!!!!! Good luck helping that guy! <3 Youre awesome

Answer 35
