Transformations of exponential functions relate to transformations of exponential graphs as they act in a similar way to specific other functions. As a rule, you can apply four different types of transformations - shifts, reflections, stretches, and compressions. Remember about the parent function, which is f(x)=bx f (x) equal to b x. The shape still remains the same. Some of the answers that you will find below are related to the transformations of quadratic functions g(x) = a(x − h)2 + k, where a ≠ 0. Start with the equations and see the solutions to see the logic.
