Question 121711:  What Transformation of y=2^x results in the equation 1/5(y-3)=2^-(x-4)? Is it: 
a)horizontal translation of 4,vertical translation of 3,stretch of 5, reflection in x-axis 
b) ht of -4,vt of 3, stretch of 5, reflection in x-axis 
c) ht of 4,vt of 3, stretch of 5, reflection in y-axis 
d) ht of -4,vt of 3, stretch of 5, reflection in y-axis 
Can someone please help me??????

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! What Transformation of y=2^x results in the equation 1/5(y-3)=2^-(x-4)? Is it: 
a)horizontal translation of 4,vertical translation of 3,stretch of 5, reflection in x-axis 
b) ht of -4,vt of 3, stretch of 5, reflection in x-axis 
c) ht of 4,vt of 3, stretch of 5, reflection in y-axis 
d) ht of -4,vt of 3, stretch of 5, reflection in y-axis

----------------------- 
What Transformation of y=2^x results in the equation 1/5(y-3)=2^-(x-4)?  
Rearranging: 
y = 5(2^(-(x-4))+3 
-------- 
You can see there is a stretch of 5, there is a reflection in 
he y-axis because of the "-"in front of (x-4). 
But I don't know what you mean by "ht". 
I do know there is a traslation of 4 to the right. 
Does that mean ht is 4 or ht is -4? 
-------------- 
If 4 to the right means ht=4, c is the answer 
If 4 to the right mean ht=-4, d is the answer. 
=============== 
Maybe you would oblige me and let me know exactly what ht=4 means.
