Exponential and Logarithmic Growth · Algebraic Thinking

Transformations of Transcendental Functions

Applying shifts, stretches, and reflections to exponential and logarithmic graphs.

Key Questions

  1. 1How do horizontal shifts in an exponential function relate to vertical stretches?
  2. 2Why does the vertical asymptote of a log function move only with horizontal translations?
  3. 3How can we use transformations to fit a model to raw observational data?
