Question

Help me pls

(if here for points go away I will report)

If Amber decides to mail copies of her photo to the 45 residents of her grandmother's assisted living facility, the new function representing her photo shares is f(x) = 3(4)x + 45. How does this graph compare with the original graph of Amber's photo share?

Answer 1

We know that Amber decided to mail copies of her photo to the 45 residents of her grandmother's assisted living facility, and after this, the function representing the photo shares is:

f(x) = 3*(4)^x + 45

We do not know the initial function, but with the given information we can assume that the original equation is:

g(x) = 3*(4)^x

Then the new function is:

f(x) = g(x) + 45.

This is a vertical translation, remember that for a function h(x), a vertical translation of N units is written as:

k(x) = h(x) + N

if N is positive, we have a translation of N units up

if N is negative, we have a translation of N units down.

in this case we have;

f(x) = g(x) + 45

This means that f(x) is a vertical translation of 45 units of g(x), then:

the graph of the new function is 45 units above the original function.
