The parent function, Rx) = 5*, has been vertically compressed by a factor of one-half, shifted to the left three units and down two units. Choose the correct function to represent the transformation.

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For a vertical scale factor of 'b', and a translation by (h, k) in the (right, up) direction, the transformed function is ...

  g(x) = b·f(x -h) +k

For a scale factor of 1/2 and translation left 3 and down 2, the transformed function is ...

  g(x) = (1/2)f(x +3) -2

  g(x) = (1/2)5^(x +3) =2 . . . . matches the 2nd choice

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.

the answer is two. hope this !
