General Idea:

In general for the function of the form
f(x) = ag(x+c), c represents the horizontal translation to the left, for
a > 1, ' a ' represents vertically stretch by factor of ' a ', and for
0 < a < 1, ' a' represents vertical compression by factor of ' a '.

Application of Concept:

Here in our problem,
f(x) = 5e^(x+3) and
g(x)=e^x.

We can rewrite our function as
f(x) =5g(x+3)

In our problem a = 5 and c = 3.

Conclusion:

The description of graph of
f(x) = 5e^(x+3) as transformation of the graph of
g(x)=e^x will be "A vertical stretch of 5 and a horizontal translation 3 units to the left"
