The graph of f(x) = (0.5)x is replaced by the graph of g(x) = (0.5)x − k. If g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) down by 7 units, the value of k is ________??

Answer 1

The answer is k = 7.

As the graph has been shifted down 7 units, the translation can be represented as :

g(x) = f(x) - 7

(0.5)x - k = (0.5)x - 7

k = 7
