vertical translation?

dude:

Yes, but thats not the only transformation

Pixel:

horizontal translation?

dude:

No

Pixel:

compression?

dude:

Does it look compressed?

Pixel:

no

dude:

Then no

Pixel:

the y intercept went from y = 1 to y = 2

Pixel:

the x went from x=0 to x=-3

dude:

Right

dude:

How would that be reflected in a graph?

Pixel:

dialation

Pixel:

?

dude:

Yes

dude:

Also, note by "x" you mean horizontal asymptote?

dude:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Pixel the x went from x=0 to x=-3 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Pixel:

yes

Pixel:

the one it never touches

dude:

RIght

dude:

So what would be the equation of the graph for now?

Pixel:

g(x)=5^x-3

Pixel:

im not sure on the dialation yet

dude:

\[g(x)=5^x-3?\\ or\\ 5^{x-3}?\]

Pixel:

first one

dude:

Yes, thats right

dude:

Can you use graphing calculators for this question?

Pixel:

it is a written test but yes

dude:

Do you want to do this algebraically or graphically?

Pixel:

well i need the equation

Pixel:

and there isnt room for a graph

dude:

Well I asking you which one do you prefer, I can do either but which would you feel more comfortable with?

Pixel:

idk what graphically so algebraically

dude:

Alright, the equation of an exponential equation is \[y=a*(b)^{x-c}+d\] We have: \[y=a*(5)^{x-0}-3\]

dude:

To solve for a, we can use any point in the graph given to us

dude:

(Pick a point)

Pixel:

(0,2)

Pixel:

A = -1

dude:

Accidentally deleted my comment, AGH But no

Pixel:

e.e

dude:

\[2=a*(5)^{0}-3\\ a*(5)^0-3=2~\color{red}{REMEMBER:~a~and~1~are~being~multiplied~so~in~order~\\to~get~rid~of~it~you~divide~}\\ 1a-3=2\\ Divide~by~1~on~both~sides\\ a-3=2\\ a=5\]

Pixel:

that doesnt work

dude:

What do you mean?

Pixel:

Nvm i had my graph zoomed out too far

dude:

So your equation is \[g(x)=5\cdot(5)^x-3\]
