Capitolo 5, Problema 1
The graph of an exponential function is given. Select the function for each graph from the following options: f(x) = 4x, g(x) = 4-x, h(x) = -4-x, r(x) = -4-x+3

Step 1: Identify the point given on the graph, which is (0, 2). This point represents the y-intercept of the function, so when x = 0, y = 2.
Step 2: Evaluate each function option at x = 0 to see which one gives y = 2. Recall that for any base a, a^0 = 1.
Step 3: Calculate f(0) = 4^0 = 1, g(0) = 4^{-0} = 4^0 = 1, h(0) = -4^{-0} = -1, and r(0) = -4^{-0} + 3 = -1 + 3 = 2.
Step 4: Since only r(0) equals 2, the function must be r(x) = -4^{-x} + 3.
Step 5: Confirm the shape of the graph matches the function r(x) = -4^{-x} + 3, which is a reflection and vertical shift of the exponential decay function.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Exponential Functions and Their Graphs
An exponential function has the form f(x) = a^x, where a > 0 and a ≠ 1. Its graph shows rapid growth if a > 1 and decay if 0 < a < 1. The y-intercept is always at (0,1) for f(x) = a^x, since any number to the zero power is 1, unless the function is transformed.

Graphs of Exponential Functions
Transformations of Exponential Functions
Transformations include reflections, shifts, and stretches. For example, f(x) = 4^-x reflects the graph of 4^x across the y-axis, changing growth to decay. Adding or subtracting constants shifts the graph vertically, affecting the y-intercept and horizontal asymptotes.

Using Points to Identify Functions
Given a point on the graph, such as (0,2), substitute x = 0 into each function to find the corresponding y-value. This helps determine which function matches the graph. For instance, f(0) = a^0 = 1, so if y ≠ 1 at x=0, the function must include vertical shifts or reflections.
