See below for the changes when the exponential function is transformed
How to determine the effect of a
The exponential functions are given as:
[tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex]
[tex]y = 5\sqrt x[/tex]
[tex]y = 14\sqrt{x[/tex]
[tex]y = -2\sqrt{x[/tex]
An exponential function of the above form is represented as:
[tex]y = a\sqrt{x[/tex]
See attachment for the graph of the four functions.
When a is large
This is represented by [tex]y = 14\sqrt{x[/tex]
In this case, the curve of the base form [tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex] is vertically stretched and it moves closer to the y-axis
When a is small
This is represented by [tex]y = 5\sqrt x[/tex]
In this case, the curve of the base form [tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex] is vertically stretched and it moves away from the x-axis
When a is negative
This is represented by [tex]y = -2\sqrt{x[/tex]
In this case, the curve of the base form [tex]y = \sqrt x[/tex] is vertically stretched and is reflected across the y-axis.
