Which functions represent exponential growth?
Which functions have a horizontal asymptote?
y = −3x
If k is instead negative, the graph shifts
Which function represents a horizontal compression of an exponential function?
Which shows the domain and range of these functions?
Explore transformations of the basic exponential function , shown right. First, change the slider for h to positive values such as 1, 2, or 3. The curve shifts h units

If h is instead negative, the curve shifts
Next, change the slider for k to different positive values. The curve shifts k units
y = 3x
y = 3−x
The function, f, shifts the parent function 5 units .
