Exploration 1D: Transformations of Exponential Functions

[size=100]In past lessons, you studied transformations of linear and polynomial functions. Use what you have learned about parameters  [color=#900000]m, b, a, h[/color], and [color=#900000]k[/color]  to predict how the graph of the parent function y = 2x will be transformed by each function in the table.  Ask yourself whether the graph will be shifted horizontally or vertically, right or left, stretched or shrunk, or reflected across a mirror line.  Insert the letter of your prediction in the table.[br][br][/size][center]Linear: [i]y = mx + b[/i][br][size=100][/size]Quadratic: [i]y[/i] = [i]a[/i][math](x-h)^2[/math][math][/math]+ [i]k[/i][/center]
