Interactive practice questions

Consider the original graph $y=3^x$y=3x. The function values of the graph are multiplied by $2$2 to form a new graph.

a

For each point on the original graph, find the point on the new graph.

Point on original graph Point on new graph

$\left(0,1\right)$(0,1) $\left(0,\editable{}\right)$(0,)
$\left(1,3\right)$(1,3) $\left(1,\editable{}\right)$(1,)
$\left(2,9\right)$(2,9) $\left(2,\editable{}\right)$(2,)
b

A1.F-BF.B.3

Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x) + k, k f(x), and f(x+k) for specific values of k (both positive and negative); find the value of k given the graphs. Experiment with cases and illustrate an explanation of the effects on the graph. Focus on linear, quadratic, exponential and piecewise-defined functions (limited to absolute value and step).
