Exponential Parent Function. Jan 06 2016 Notice that the simplest exponential function in the above family is y 2 x. Stretched vertically by a factor of a if a.
In general the graph of the basic exponential function y a x drops from to 0 when 0. If x is a positive integer number then ax means to multiply a by itself x times. The opposite of a positive number is obviously a negative number so in keeping with the rules of exponents this must somehow be the opposite.
What transformation has taken place from the parent function to gx answer choices.
By examining the nature of the logarithmic graph we have seen that the parent function will stay to the right of the x-axis unless acted upon by a transformation. A2 1 a2. To graph an exponential function it. Compressed vertically by a factor of.
