Here, we want to get the response of the given function with respect to the change in the value of the leading coefficient
As we can see from the question, what we have is an example of an exponential function
Generally, with exponential function with a positive value for a, as the value of x moves closer to negative infinity, we have that the value of f(x) moves closer to 0. What this mean is that with a decrease in the value of x, the value of f(x) moves closer to 0
Hence, as the domain value moves closer to negative infinity, the value of the range moves closer to 0. Furthermore, as the value of the domain moves closer to positive infinity, the value of the range also close in on positive infinity
The above situation is for a being positive (given as 2)
Now, when a becomes negative, we have an opposite direction for the plot
Although, as the domain value moves closer to negative infinity, we have the value of f(x) being closer to zero. This is directly as above
However, as the domain moves towards positive infinity, the value of the range moves closer to negative infinity
In summary;
