OBJECTIVE forms.
LET’S RECALL
The properties of exponents that you learned in algebra can also be used to
manipulate/rearrange exponential functions into an equivalent form.
Negative Exponent Property:
Product Property for exponents:
Power Property for exponents:
The kth root of b:
TRANSFORMATIONS OF GRAPHS OF
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
These same exponent rules can be used when working with horizontal
transformations of exponential functions.
Each of the following graphs is transformation of the graph of
a. The graph of g can be obteined by shifting the graph of f one unit
to the left.
HORIZONTAL SHIFT
TRANSFORMATIONS OF GRAPHS OF
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
Each of the following graphs is transformation of the graph of
b. The graph of h can be obteined by shifting the graph of f
downward two units.
VERTICAL SHIFT
TRANSFORMATIONS OF GRAPHS OF
EXPONENTIAL FUNCTIONS
Each of the following graphs is transformation of the graph of

Graphically, this property implies that every horizontal translation of an exponential
function, , is equivalent to a vertical dilation

WORKING HARD!
Each of the following exponential functions has a horizontal
translation. For each, write an equivalent representation that has a
vertical dilation and no horizontal translation
HORIZONTAL DILATION
Graphically, this property implies that every horizontal dilation of an exponential
function, , is equivalent to a change of the base of an
exponential function
