Answer:

Explanation:

The graph of g(x)=3(2)^x -5 is vertically stretched as compared with that of h(x) = 2^x. Also, the graph of g(x)=3(2)^x -5 has been translated downward by 5 units.

To obtain the graph of g(x)=3(2)^x -5, we start by graphing g(x)= 2^x, whose y-intercept is (0, 1). We then stretch this new graph vertically by a factor of 3; the y-intercept becomes (0, 3). Finally, we translate the entire new graph downward 5 units.
