3. Exponential graphs
Equation: y = ax + p + q
y = q is a horizontal asymptote
If a > 1 the function is increasing
If 0 < a < 1 the function is decreasing
To find the equation first put in the asymptote and then substitute the point.

Example
Example 1
If f : x 2x + p + q find the equation.
Solution
Solution
y = 2x + p 2
Substitute (0 ; 0)
x = 0 y = 0
0 = 20 + p 2
2 = 2p
p=1
y = 2x + 1 2
Example
Solution
Example 2
x+p
Find the equation of f if f(x) = ( _13) + 1 and find the yintercept
Solution
x+p
y = ( _1) + 1
3
Substitute x = 1 y = 10
1 + p
10 = ( _1) + 1
