Learn to translate an exponential graph using a reflection and horizontal shift

The video tutorial explains how to graph the equation Y = -2^(X+2) by first graphing Y = 2^X, identifying transformations such as reflection over the X-axis, and applying horizontal shifts. The process involves using a table of values and understanding the impact of negative signs and shifts within the function. The final graph is a reflection and shift of the base graph.

What is the first step to graphing the equation y = 2 to the X?

How do you identify the transformations in the graph?

What does the negative sign in the equation indicate about the graph?

Explain how to move the graph when the equation includes X + 2.

What is the final step in graphing the equation after all transformations?
