Question

Which transformations of the graph of f(x) = -4^x result in the graph of f(x) = 4^x +3?

reflection over the x-axis and shifted 3 units up
reflection over the y-axis and shifted 3 units up
reflection over the x-axis and shifted 3 units down
reflection over the y-axis and shifted 3 units down

Answer 1

I'd say it's 'A'. Since your now making the x positive (on the other side -- reflected), and then you're adding 3 to the y value, meaning it's going to be up three spaces than the other side. Not sure if I'm right... but hope it helps.
