Q. The graph of y=g(x+5) in the xy-plane passes through the point (−5,4). If g is an exponential function, which of the following could define g?Choose 1 answer:(A) g(x)=−5(4)x+1(B) g(x)=4x(C) g(x)=4(54)x(D) g(x)=4(2)x−5
Substitute x=−5: To find the correct function g, we need to substitute x=−5 into the equation y=g(x+5) and check which option gives y=4.
Option (A): For option (A), g(x)=−5(4)x+1, we substitute x=0 (since x+5=−5+5=0) to get g(0)=−5(4)0+1=−5(1)+1=−5+1=−4, which does not equal 4.
Option (B): For option (B), g(x)=4x, we substitute x=0 (since x+5=−5+5=0) to get g(0)=40=1, which does not equal 4.
Option (C): For option (C), g(x)=4(54)x, we substitute x=0 (since x+5=−5+5=0) to get g(0)=4(54)0=4(1)=4, which equals 4.
Option (D): For option (D), g(x)=4(2)x−5, we substitute x=0 (since x+5=−5+5=0) to get g(0)=4(2)0−5=4(1)−5=4−5=−1, which does not equal 4.
