Question

Write a function that has the following characteristics:

-Exponential decay

-Asymptote is y = -2

-Shifted left 3 units from the parent function

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

y = 0.4^(x+3) -2

Explanation:

I have chosen the decay function y=0.4^x as the parent function.

Shifting any function f(x) left 3 and down 2 will transform it to ...

y = f(x+3) -2

So, the shifted parent function is ...

y = 0.4^(x+3) -2
