Transformations of Exponential Functions Part 2 - 84

Activity Overview

In this activity, students will explore additional transformations. This is Part 2 of Transformations of Exponential Functions. 

About the Lesson

This lesson involves the family of exponential functions of the form f(x)=ba*x + C

As a result, students will:

  • Manipulate parameters, and observe the effect on the graph of the corresponding exponential function.
  • Conjecture and draw conclusions about the effect of each parameter on the graph of the exponential function.
  • Compare horizontal dilations and change of base and manipulate equations to demonstrate they are the same.
  • Match specific exponential functions with their corresponding graphs.

*Note: This activity contains an optional AP Practice Questions document for those students preparing for the AP Precalculus Exam.
