- (a) To obtain the graph of g(x)=2x1 , we start with the graph of f(x)=2x and shift it _____________ (upward/ downward) 1 unit. (b) To obtain the graph of h(x)=2x1 , we start with the graph of f(x)=2xand shift it to the (left/right) 1unit.arrow_forwardUse your schools library, the Internet, or some other reference source to find real-life applications of approximations of functions.arrow_forwardThe initialsize of a culture of bacteria is 1000. After 1 hour the bacteria count is 8000. (a) Find a function n(t)=n0en that models the population after s hours. (b)Find the population after 1.5 hours. (c)After how many how will the number of bacteria reach 15,000? (d)Sketch the graph of the population function.arrow_forward
