The graph of y = 2ˣ + 3 looks like the graph of the parent function y = 2ˣ shifted up 3 units
Describing the transformation between the functions
From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:
y = 2ˣ + 3
Also, we have the parent function to be
y = 2ˣ
We can see that 3 is added to the parent function y = 2ˣ to get the transformed function y = 2ˣ + 3
This means that the transformation is a vertical shift up by 3 units
Hence, the transformation is up 3 units
Question
