Transcribed Image Text:### Transformation of Exponential Functions
**Objective:** Determine the formula and graphical transformation for a function \( y = -k(x-4) \) where \( k(x) = 3^x \).
#### Formula Choices:
To transform the function \( k(x) = 3^x \) using \( y = -k(x-4) \), select the correct modified equation:
- \( -k(x-4) = 3^{-x-4} \)
- \( -k(x-4) = -3^{x+4} \)
- \( -k(x-4) = -3^{-x-4} \)
- \( -k(x-4) = 3^{-x+4} \)
- \( -k(x-4) = 3^{x+4} \)
#### Graphical Transformation:
**Task:** Given the graph of \( k(x) = 3^x \) in blue, identify the graph of the transformation \( y = -k(x-4) \) in green.
- **Graph 1:**
- Blue: Standard exponential growth curve.
- Green: Reflection of the blue curve across the x-axis, shifted right by 4 units.
- **Graph 2:**
- Blue: Standard exponential growth curve.
- Green: Reflection of the blue curve across the x-axis, with both vertical reflection and horizontal leftward shift.
- **Graph 3:**
- Blue: Standard exponential growth curve.
- Green: Vertical reflection of the blue curve without horizontal shifting.
- **Graph 4:**
- Blue: Standard exponential growth curve.
- Green: Horizontal shift left by 4 units and reflection across the x-axis.
- **Graph 5:**
- Blue: Standard exponential growth curve.
- Green: Only shifted right by 4 units, without reflection.
**Conclusion:**
Identify and confirm which green graph accurately represents the transformation based on reflections and shifts.
