Explore transformations of the basic exponential function , shown right. First, change the slider for h to positive values such as 1, 2, or 3. The curve shifts h units

The parent function y = 0.5x is across its domain because its base, b, is such that .
If k is instead negative, the graph shifts
The function, f, shifts the parent function 5 units .
