Question 107709: Describe the transformations on the following graph of f(x) = e^x. State the placement of the horizontal asymptote and y-intercept after the transformation.
For example, left 1 or rotated about the y-axis are descriptions.
a( g(x) =e^x -2
b) h(x) = -e^x
I need to find the
Description of transformation:
Horizontal asymptote:
y-intercept in (x, y) form:
For both a & b

Describe the transformations on the following graph of f(x) = e^x. State the placement of the horizontal asymptote and y-intercept after the transformation.
For example, left 1 or rotated about the y-axis are descriptions.
------------------------
a} g(x) =e^x -2
All points of the graph move down two units
Horizontal asymptote: y=-2
x-intercept: let g(x)=0; e^x=2; x=ln2; (ln2,0)
y-intercept: let x=0 ; g(0)=1-2=-1; (-1,0)
---------------

b) h(x) = -e^x
All points of the original graph are reflected in the y-axis.
Horizontal asyptote: y=0
x-intercept: none
y-intercept: let x=0; -e^0=-1; (0,-1)
----------------
I need to find the
Description of transformation:
Horizontal asymptote:
y-intercept in (x, y) form:
For both a & b
