Lesson 1 – Part B – Exponential Functions (Single Transformations)

1. Sketch each exponential function. Identify the following:

• Y-intercept
• Growth or decay
• Equation of the horizontal asymptote
• Domain & range
•
1 𝑥 1 𝑥
a) 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥+3 b) 𝑓(𝑥) = ( ) c) 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 − 1 d) 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 + 2 e) 𝑓(𝑥) = −3 (2)

2. Write the equation of each exponential functions given the graph (HINT: USE THE INDICATED POINT TO HELP)
Note: The vertical stretches (a-value) = 1

Answers___________________________________________________________________________
1) a) b) c)

y-intercept: (0, 8) y-intercept: (0, 1) y-intercept: (0, 0)

Growth Decay Growth
HA @ y = 0 HA @ y = 0 HA @ y = -1
D: 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 D: 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 D: 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅
R: 𝑦 > 0, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅 R: 𝑦 > 0, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅 R: 𝑦 > −1, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅
d) e)

y-intercept: (0, 3) y-intercept: (0, -3)

Growth Negative Decay
HA @ y = 2 HA @ y = 0
D: 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅 D: 𝑥 ∈ 𝑅
R: 𝑦 > 2, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅 R: 𝑦 < 0, 𝑦 ∈ 𝑅
