Front

What does it mean to stretch an exponential function?

Back

Stretching an exponential function means to increase its steepness, typically by multiplying the function by a factor greater than 1.

Front

What does it mean to shrink an exponential function?

Back

Shrinking an exponential function means to decrease its steepness, typically by multiplying the function by a factor between 0 and 1.

Front

What is a vertical translation in the context of exponential functions?

Back

A vertical translation shifts the graph of the function up or down without changing its shape.

Front

What is a horizontal translation in the context of exponential functions?

Back

A horizontal translation shifts the graph of the function left or right without changing its shape.

What does the term 'factor' refer to in transformations?

Back

In transformations, 'factor' refers to the multiplier that affects the steepness or width of the graph.

What is the effect of a negative sign in front of an exponential function?

Back

A negative sign in front of an exponential function reflects the graph across the x-axis.
