Exercise 40 Page 279

Choose a point on the graph of the function g(x)= 13(6)^(x-h), then substitute it in.

h=- 2

Practice makes perfect

Looking at the graphs of the given exponential functions, we see that the graph of f(x)= 13(6)^x is translated h units to the left.

Notice that the point (- 1,2) is on the graph of g(x)= 13(6)^(x-h). Let's substitute it in and solve for h.

g(x)=1/3(6)^(x-h)

x= - 1, y= 2

2=1/3(6)^(- 1-h)

▼

Solve for h

LHS * 3=RHS* 3

6=6^(- 1-h)

a=a^1

6^1=6^(- 1-h)

EquateExponents

Equate exponents

1=- 1-h

LHS+1=RHS+1

2=- h

.LHS /(- 1).=.RHS /(- 1).

- 2= h

Rearrange equation

h=- 2

The value of h is - 2.
