Understanding Exponential Functions and Asymptotes

The video tutorial explains how to graph an exponential function with transformations and determine its domain and range. It begins with an introduction to the parent function 3^x, highlighting its properties. The tutorial then demonstrates how to apply transformations, such as translations and shifts, to graph the function f(x) = -4 + 3^(x-2). Finally, it discusses how to determine the domain and range of the transformed function, emphasizing the impact of the transformations on these aspects.

What is the main task described in the video regarding the exponential function?

• To find the derivative of the function

• To integrate the function

• To solve the exponential equation

• To graph the exponential function with transformations

What is the base of the parent function discussed in the video?

• 2

• 4

• 3

• 5

What is the effect of a base greater than 1 on the exponential graph?

• It decreases from left to right

• It remains constant

• It increases from left to right

• It oscillates

Which point does the parent function 3^x pass through?

• (1, 1)

• (1, 0)

• (0, 1)

• (0, 0)

Which of the following points is not on the graph of 3^x?

• (0, 1)

• (3, 8)

• (1, 3)

• (2, 9)

What transformation is applied to the graph when the exponent is X + 2?

• Move 2 units to the left

• Move 2 units up

• Move 2 units to the right

• Move 2 units down

What is the purpose of plotting individual points on the graph?

• To make the graph look better

• To keep the frame of reference

• To calculate the area under the curve

• To find the slope

How many units is the graph moved down due to the -4 in the function?

• 2 units

• 3 units

• 4 units

• 5 units

What happens to the horizontal asymptote after the transformation?

• It moves to y = -4

• It moves to y = -2

• It remains at y = 0

• It moves to y = 2

What is the significance of the horizontal asymptote in the graph?

• It is a boundary the graph approaches but never reaches

• It represents the maximum value

• It represents the minimum value

• It is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis
