005 Sample Final A, Question 18

Question Graph the following function,

Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x) = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{x+1} + 1}

Make sure to label any asymptotes, and at least two points on the graph.

Foundations
1) What is the basic graph of $f(x)=3^{(x+1)}-2$?
2) How is the graph Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle g(x)=x+1} obtained from $f(x)=x$?
3) How is the graph $g(x)=(x-3)^{2}$ obtained from $f(x)=x^{2}$?
Answer:
1) The basic graph is $y=3^{x}$.
2) The graph of $g(x)$ is obtained by shifting the graph of $f(x)$ up 1 unit.
3) The graph of $g(x)$ is obtained by shifting the graph of $f(x)$ to the right by 3 units.

Solution:

Step 1:
We start with the basic graph of $g(x)=3^{x}$.
To get the graph of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x)} from Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g(x)} , we shift the graph of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle g(x)} down 2 and to the left by 1.

Step 2:
Two ordered pairs are (-1,-1), and (0,1). There is a horizontal asymptote at Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y=-2} .

Final Answer:
