Answer:

D) It would move to the right 3.

Explanation:

Given : If you subtracted 3 from the exponent in an exponential function,

To find : what would happen to the graph

Solution : We have given that exponential function

If we subtract 3 from power of exponent

Let parent function is
e^(x)

Transformed function is
e^(x-3)

By the Transformation rule f(x) →→f (x -h) it tell that graph of f(x) would shift right by h unit.

Hence , graph of
e^(x) would shift right by 3 unit.

Therefore, D) It would move to the right 3.
