Question

When the function f(x) = 3(5)x is changed to f(x) = 3(5)x + 22, what is the effect?

Answer 1

The original function is an exponential growth function, and so is a new function, but it will be translated in to 2 units.

Explanation:

The first function will have a horizontal asymptote at y = 0 and the second function will have a horizontal asymptote at y = 22.
