@dude
vertical translation?
Yes, but thats not the only transformation
horizontal translation?
No
compression?
Does it look compressed?
no
Then no
the y intercept went from y = 1 to y = 2
the x went from x=0 to x=-3
Right
How would that be reflected in a graph?
dialation
?
Yes
Also, note by "x" you mean horizontal asymptote?
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Pixel the x went from x=0 to x=-3 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
yes
the one it never touches
RIght
So what would be the equation of the graph for now?
g(x)=5^x-3
im not sure on the dialation yet
\[g(x)=5^x-3?\\ or\\ 5^{x-3}?\]
first one
Yes, thats right
Can you use graphing calculators for this question?
it is a written test but yes
Do you want to do this algebraically or graphically?
well i need the equation
and there isnt room for a graph
Well I asking you which one do you prefer, I can do either but which would you feel more comfortable with?
idk what graphically so algebraically
Alright, the equation of an exponential equation is \[y=a*(b)^{x-c}+d\] We have: \[y=a*(5)^{x-0}-3\]
To solve for a, we can use any point in the graph given to us
(Pick a point)
(0,2)
A = -1
Accidentally deleted my comment, AGH But no
e.e
\[2=a*(5)^{0}-3\\ a*(5)^0-3=2~\color{red}{REMEMBER:~a~and~1~are~being~multiplied~so~in~order~\\to~get~rid~of~it~you~divide~}\\ 1a-3=2\\ Divide~by~1~on~both~sides\\ a-3=2\\ a=5\]
that doesnt work
What do you mean?
Nvm i had my graph zoomed out too far
So your equation is \[g(x)=5\cdot(5)^x-3\]
