Question

he table below represents an exponential function, g, that has been vertically shifted from the parent function, f(x) = 2x. x 0 1 2 3 4 g(x) -11 -10 -8 -4 4 Determine the size of the shift from function f to function g. Then, plot the points of a function that is shifted only half as much as g from the parent function, f. Use the same x-values as used in the table for function g.

Answer 1

1. The size of shift from function f to function g is -12

2. The plot of the points of a function that is shifted only half as much as g from the parent function f is in the attached file in blue color.

Explanation:

Parent function: f(x)=2^x

x=0→f(0)=2^0→f(0)=1

x=1→f(1)=2^1→f(1)=2

x=2→f(2)=2^2→f(2)=4

x=3→f(3)=2^3→f(3)=8

x=4→f(4)=2^4→f(4)=16

Size of the shift from function f to function g: s

s=g(0)-f(0)=-11-1→s=-12

s=g(1)-f(1)=-10-2→s=-12

s=g(2)-f(2)=-8-4→s=-12

s=g(3)-f(3)=-4-8→s=-12

s=g(4)-f(4)=4-16→s=-12

Points of a function h that is shifted only half as much as g from the parent function, f. Use the same x- values as used in the table for function:

s2=s/2→s2=(-12)/2→s2=-6

x h(x)

0 1+(-6)=1-6=-5

1 2+(-6)=2-6=-4

2 4+(-6)=4-6=-2

3 8+(-6)=8-6=2

4 16+(-6)=16-6=10
