Question

How do you graph `f(x)=5^x+2`?

Answer 1

`f(x)` has the graph of `y=5^x` shifted 2 units positive ("up") on the `y-`axis.

Explanation:

`f(x) =5^x+2`

Consider the standard exponential increasing graph `y=a^x` where `a=5` below.

graph{5^x [-16.01, 16.04, -8.01, 8.01]}
Then, `f(x)` has this this graph shifted 2 units positive ("up") on the `y-`axis. Shown below:

graph{5^x +2 [-16.01, 16.04, -8.01, 8.01]}
