What is the equation of the function shown in the graph, given that the equation of the parent function is f(x) = 3.5x?
A. g(x) = 3.5x + 1.5 B. g(x) = 3.5x + 1 C. g(x) = 3.5x – 1 D. g(x) = 3.5x – 2
Which way did it move from the parent function?
Hint: as we can see the asymptote has this equation: \(y=-2\), so, please use the result of the previous exercise
|dw:1445883748169:dw|
what is the right option?
d?
hint: I choose function in A. I can write this: \[g\left( 0 \right) = {3.5^0} + 1.5 = 1 + 1.5 = 2.5\] so the point \(0,2.5\) blongs to the graph of the function in A. Is it true for your graph?
no
correct! since your graph passes at point \((0,-1)\)
Now, I choose the graph of option D. So, I can write: \[g\left( 0 \right) = {3.5^0} - 2 = 1 - 2 = - 1\] so the point \((0,-1)\) belongs to the graph of function in C. SO, what can you conclude?
oops..So*
sorry ...belongs to the graph of the function in D* not in C
