SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on sketching the function g(x) = f(x-2) + 1, specifically g(x) = 1 + e^(x-2). To graph this function, one must start with the base graph of e^x, scale it by dividing by e^2, and then apply a vertical shift upwards by 1 unit. The user expresses gratitude for the guidance provided by Mathman in understanding the graphing process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of exponential functions, specifically e^x
  • Knowledge of function transformations, including scaling and shifting
  • Familiarity with graphing techniques
  • Basic algebra skills for manipulating equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn about function transformations in detail, focusing on vertical and horizontal shifts
  • Study the properties of the exponential function e^x and its applications
  • Explore graphing software tools like Desmos for visualizing transformations
  • Investigate scaling techniques for graphs and their effects on function behavior
USEFUL FOR

Students learning about graphing functions, educators teaching mathematics, and anyone interested in understanding exponential function transformations.

I'm new here and I just had a question. I can't seem to get this graphing problem. Sketch g(x)=f(x-2) + 1 = 1 + e^x-2... on a graph. Thank you very much.

Start with the graph of ex. Scale by dividing by e2. Finally shift up 1.
 
Thank you very much for your help Mathman.
