Question

When the graph of y=2^x is reflected in the x-axis, and then translated 5 units left and 1 unit down, the equation representing the new graph is:

a) y=2^(-x+5)-1
b) y=2^(x+5)-1
c) y=2^(x-5)+1
d) y=2^(x+5)-1

Answer 1

translated left means subtract 5. one unit down means add one to y, or add one to y, or subtract from the other side.
