Start by understanding the base function: \(f(x) = 2^x\). This is an exponential function with base 2, which has a horizontal asymptote at \(y = 0\), domain \((-\infty, \infty)\), and range \((0, \infty)\).
Next, analyze the given function \(g(x) = 2 \cdot 2^x\). Notice that this can be rewritten as \(g(x) = 2^{x+1}\) because \(2 \cdot 2^x = 2^{1} \cdot 2^x = 2^{x+1}\).
Recognize that \(g(x) = 2^{x+1}\) represents a horizontal shift of the base graph \(f(x) = 2^x\) to the left by 1 unit. This is because adding 1 inside the exponent shifts the graph left.
The horizontal asymptote remains the same at \(y = 0\) since multiplying by a positive constant does not change the asymptote for exponential functions with positive bases.
Finally, determine the domain and range of \(g(x)\). The domain remains all real numbers \((-\infty, \infty)\), and the range remains \((0, \infty)\) because the function is still an exponential growth function shifted horizontally.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Exponential Functions

An exponential function has the form f(x) = a^x, where the base a is a positive constant not equal to 1. These functions grow or decay rapidly and have unique properties such as a horizontal asymptote. Understanding the basic graph of f(x) = 2^x is essential before applying transformations.

Exponential Functions

Transformations of Functions

Transformations involve shifting, stretching, compressing, or reflecting the graph of a function. For g(x) = 2·2^x, the coefficient 2 vertically stretches the graph of f(x) = 2^x by a factor of 2. Recognizing how these changes affect the graph and asymptotes helps in sketching the new function accurately.

Domain & Range of Transformed Functions

Domain, Range, and Asymptotes

The domain of exponential functions is all real numbers, while the range depends on vertical shifts and stretches. The horizontal asymptote, often y=0 for basic exponentials, may shift with transformations. Identifying these features is crucial for understanding the behavior and limits of the function.
