Graphing transformations of exponential functions
Do you know how to sketch and state transformations of exponential functions graphs? How about applying transformations to exponential functions including, horizontal shift, vertical shift, horizontal expansion/compression, vertical expansion/compression, reflection and inverse? You will learn them all in this lesson!
Lessons
y=a⋅cb(x−h)+k
• a= vertical expansion/compression
• b= horizontal expansion /compression
• h= horizontal translation
• k= vertical translation
• Reflection?
• a= vertical expansion/compression
• b= horizontal expansion /compression
• h= horizontal translation
• k= vertical translation
• Reflection?
- 1.Horizontal Translation of an Exponential Function
Sketch and compare the graphs of the exponential function y=2x and
i) y=2(x+1)
ii) y=2(x−2)
Did the transformation affect the horizontal asymptote? - 2.Vertical Translation of an Exponential Function
Sketch and compare the graphs of the exponential function y=2x and
i) y=2x+1
ii) y=2x−2
Did the transformation affect the horizontal asymptote? - 3.Expansion/Compression of an Exponential Function
