Short Answer

In Problems 33-40, the graph of an exponential function is given. Match each graph to one of the following functions.

The function is y=31-x and matches to (g)

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Given information

Given graph

Step 2: Checking the graph and forming the function   

The graph is a reflection about the y-axis of y=3x. Thus, an equation would be y=3-x

The function y=3-x, being a reflection about the y-axis of y=3x, contains the points (-1,3),(0,1), and (1,13)

The graph contains the points (0,3),(1,1), and 2,13. When compared to the three points mentioned above, these points involve one -unit shift to the right.

Thus, the equation of the graph must be y=3-(x-1)

localid="1646661078860" y=31-x

So it matches to (g)
