Question 1012179: Let g(x)=2(4)^x+3 - 5.
a) describe the function as a transformation of f(x)=4^x.
b) graph the function using your knowledge of transformations.
c) what is the horizontal asymptote of the graph of g?

Hi there!
Thanks for the question.
So we are given the exponential function . Since a = 2, the graph is compressed. Since the graph has an exponent of x + 3 and a vertical shift of -5. The graph of will be shifted to the left 3 units and down 5. I apologize for the lack of graphics. It is difficult to upload media on here. But you can look at desmos.com. Now, since y=4^x or any exponential function with no vertical shift has an asymptote of y =0, the asymptote will be shifted down 5 units to y = -5.
Hope this helped! :)
