Transformations of Exponential Functions: Equation and Graph, Exercises of Mathematics

The steps to transform an exponential function y = 3x into different forms by applying various transformations such as reflection, expansion, and translation. It also includes the graph of each transformed function with their domains, ranges, y-intercepts, and asymptotes.

What you will learn

  • What is the effect of a vertical expansion by 2 and reflection in the x-axis on the equation y = 3x?
  • How does reflection in the y-axis affect the equation y = 3x?
  • How does a translation 3 units up affect the equation y = 3x?

Some general observations Stretching an exponential graph vertically can also be viewed as translating the graph horizontally. Stretching an exponential graph horizontally can also be viewed as changing the base of the exponential function. This means that an exponential function can be rewritten with any positive base.

The transformed exponential function 0  

x t yy a can be used to model situations where exponential growth or decay occurs. In this function, a represents the growth ( a  1 ) or decay ( 0  a  1 ) factor, y is the future (or past) amount, and y 0 is the initial or original amount (the amount at time 0). t is the amount of time it takes for 1 growth (or decay) period of factor a Write an exponential function that could be used to represent each of the following

  2. The population of a country is 8 million and growing at 2.13% per year. What will the population be in x years?
  3. Every 4 hours, your body removes 30% of a certain drug. If you have an initial dose of 120 mg, how many mg will remain in x hours?
  4. A culture of bacteria doubles in size every 20 minutes. If the culture size is originally 8 cm 2 , what size will the culture be in x minutes?
  5. A car depreciates by 20% each year. If it is originally worth $30 000, what will its value be in x years?
