Question 1071332: The graph of a translated exponential function is shown below. Its parent function is y=4^x. If the graph is asymptotic to y=-3 and contains the points (2,-2) and (3,1), what is the equation of the function? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the -3 will go at the end,
-2=4^2-3; need the first term to be (1/16)*4^2
check with second point
1=(4^3)(1/16)-3, which does work
the function is y= (1/16)4^x-3
