Transcript text: This question has two parts. First, answer Part A. Then, answer Part B. Part A
a. Determine the value of $k$ from the given graph.
\[
f(x)=3^{x} ; g(x)=f(x)+k
\]
The value of $k$ is $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the graph
The graph of g(x) appears to be a vertical translation of the graph of f(x) = 3^x. The base function f(x) = 3^x would pass through the point (0,1). The graph of g(x) passes through the point (0,2).
Step 2: Determine the vertical shift
The graph of g(x) is shifted one unit up from the graph of f(x). This indicates a vertical translation of +1.
Step 3: Determine the value of k
Since g(x) = f(x) + k and the vertical shift is +1, the value of k is 1.
