## anonymous one year ago g(x)= 4^x+3 +2 Halp Halp :( will medal

1. zepdrix

$\large\rm g(x)=4^{x+3}+2$What do we have to do with this function? :o

2. anonymous

Graph it :( We have to pick 3 points but I chose 1 and got like 258

3. anonymous

My graph only goes to 6... on the worksheet that is -_____-

4. zepdrix

|dw:1444279384850:dw|It's an exponential, so it looks something like this :U

5. anonymous

wait its not exponential?? lol ugh

6. zepdrix

Oh you're picking points and stuff? :) Ok ok hmm

7. anonymous

Yeah I mean it would look like that though. I tried -1 and got 18 which is still a big number :(

8. zepdrix

Ya, you don't want really big numbers. So you would like to make the exponent as close to zero as possible. So you want this x+3 to be somewhat small. How bout x=-3?

9. zepdrix

18 isn't big, simmer down :) lol

10. anonymous

Apparently for the graph it is lol

11. zepdrix

$$\large\rm (-3,?)$$ what do you get for your y when plug in -3 for x?

12. anonymous

Okay for -3 = 6 :) much better

13. zepdrix

Hmm that doesn't sound right.

14. anonymous

No?

15. zepdrix

$\large\rm g(-3)=4^{-3+3}+2$$\large\rm g(-3)=4^{0}+2$4^0 is? :o

16. anonymous

Oh, its 1. Fantastic Ima fail this lol :/

17. zepdrix

$$\large\rm (-3,3)$$ mmm ok good that gives us one point :) How about choosing another value that is really close by, like umm... -2?

18. anonymous

Okay :) Lemme do it

19. anonymous

its 6!!!!

20. zepdrix

$$\large\rm (-2,6)$$ Ahh there's that 6 :) lol

21. zepdrix

If x=-1 is giving you a value that is too big, then you could try going the other direction I suppose, x=-4

22. anonymous

What if we do -4? Since -1 = 18 -___-

23. anonymous

Okay doing it now :)

24. anonymous

it comes out at 2.25

25. zepdrix

$$\large\rm (-4,2.25)$$ Yay good job \c:/

26. zepdrix

Graph em.. connect the dots :p go .. do it

27. anonymous

Lol it looks kinda weird but I'll take it! It must be right.

28. anonymous

What will be thr asymptote? :o

29. zepdrix

The normal asymptote for an exponential function will be the x-axis, which is y=0. The +2 on the end of our function is a vertical shift up 2 units. So hmm.. what will that do? :)

30. anonymous

Oh no, theres more?!?! :(

31. anonymous

y=2.25?? @zepdrix

32. anonymous

Lol I knew you were gonna click on that other question, I clicked on it too. Great minds think alike :)

33. zepdrix

The +2 is shifting everything up by 2. So it shifts the asymptote up by 2. So instead of having an asymptote at y=0, you'll have an asymptote at y=2.

34. anonymous

Thank you, thank you!!!!!! Good luck helping that guy! <3 Youre awesome
