Question

Precal please help me right answers only

Answer 1

Consider the parent function
`y=a^x.`

1. Note that
`a>0, a\\eq 1.`

2. When
`a>1,` function is increasing.

3. When
`0<a<1,` function is decreasing (see attached diagram for details).

The graph of the function
`y=a^(x+h)+k` can be obtained by translating graph of the parent function h units to the left and k units up (h>0, k>0). This transformation does not affect the growth or decline of the function.

In your case function is decreasing, then correct choice is D.
