b. 5 units to the right of the graph of f(x)
c.the graph is not shifted horizontally from the graph of f(x)

Your answer will be choice C.. the value of 'k' will actually produce a vertical shift in the exponential function.

Answer:

c. the graph is not shifted horizontally from the graph of f(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

The parent function is given by [tex]f(x)=2^x[/tex]

The transformation function is [tex]g(x)=f(x)+k[/tex]

For k = -5, we have

[tex]g(x)=f(x)-5\\\\g(x)=2^x-5[/tex]

The transformation of graph rule: Whenever, we add or subtract any constant in the function then there will be transformation in vertical direction.

  • If we add a constant k to the function then the graph of the function will shift up by k units.
  • If we subtract a constant k to the function then the graph of the function will shift down by k units.

Whenever, we add/subtract any constant in the x values then there would be transformation in horizontal direction.

Here 5 is subtracted in f(x) to get g(x) hence, here will be transformation in vertical direction not in horizontal direction.

Therefore, c is the correct option.

c. the graph is not shifted horizontally from the graph of f(x)
