Exercise 38 Page 279

Choose a point on the graph of the function g(x)=0.25^x+k, then substitute it in.

k=3

Practice makes perfect

Looking at the graphs of the given exponential functions, we see that the graph of f(x)=0.25^x is translated k units up.

Notice that the point (0,4) is on the graph of g(x)=0.25^x+k. Let's substitute it and solve for k.

g(x)=0.25^x+k
4=0.25^0+k
â–¼
Solve for k
4=1+k
3=k
k=3

The value of k is 3.
