Question

please help

Answer 1

What do you know about the value a?
What do you know about the value b?
What do you know about the value c?

Answer 2

i think the answer to c is 4

Answer 3

I think there is more to this problem than you are showing us. What is a, b, c, and?????

Answer 4

Your math problem most likely contains a function with the constants a, b and c in it. Without having seen your function, we cannot help you. Please post it. Thanks.

Answer 5

sorry the equation is
\[a \^\{x+b}\+c\]

Answer 6

a^(x+b)+c

Answer 7

Do you still need help?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

hmmm can you post a screenshot of the whole material? so we can see what the context is

Answer 10

hmmm are you covering transformations? or have you covered it yet?
I mean... what kind of response are you expected to provide?

the only one I can see, is from function transformatioins

Answer 11

so.. hmm maybe this rings a bell
\(\qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations}
\\ \quad \\

\begin{array}{rllll}
% left side templates
f(x)=&{\color{purple}{ A}}({\color{blue}{ B}}x+{\color{red}{ C}})+{\color{green}{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
y=&{\color{purple}{ A}}({\color{blue}{ B}}x+{\color{red}{ C}})+{\color{green}{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{\color{purple}{ A}}\sqrt{{\color{blue}{ B}}x+{\color{red}{ C}}}+{\color{green}{ D}}
\\ \quad \\
f(x)=&{\color{purple}{ A}}\mathbb{R}^{{\color{blue}{ B}}x+{\color{red}{ C}}}+{\color{green}{ D}}
\end{array}\qquad

\begin{array}{llll}
% right side info
\bullet \textit{ stretches or shrinks horizontally by } {\color{purple}{ A}}\cdot {\color{blue}{ B}}\\
\bullet \textit{ horizontal shift by }\frac{{\color{red}{ C}}}{{\color{blue}{ B}}}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{\color{red}{ C}}}{{\color{blue}{ B}}}\textit{ is negative, to the right}\\
\qquad if\ \frac{{\color{red}{ C}}}{{\color{blue}{ B}}}\textit{ is positive, to the left}\\
\bullet \textit{ vertical shift by }{\color{green}{ D}}\\
\qquad if\ {\color{green}{ D}}\textit{ is negative, downwards}\\
\qquad if\ {\color{green}{ D}}\textit{ is positive, upwards}
\end{array}\)

the last template form seems to be what applies to this case
transformation wise that is

Answer 12

@Isabelle99
So after you add the whole question, it makes more sense!

and
I think this would help you.

Answer 13

Suggestion: graph the basic exponential function y=e^x, and then compare your result with the given function. Do both graphs indicate increasing functions, or does one increase while the other decreases? Whether an exponential function increases with x or decreases depends upon the value of the base, "a."

Can you finish the following?

If 0<a<1, the exponential function ? with x.
If a>1, the exponential function ? with x.
