Using the parent function f(x) = 0.4^x, which function describes a transformation of f(x) moving up 5 units?

• f(x) = 0.4^x + 5

• f(x) = 0.4^x - 5

• f(x) = 5(0.4)^x

• f(x) = 0.4(5)^x

Using the parent function f(x) = -2(1.5)^x, which function describes a transformation of f(x) moving down 2 units?

• f(x) = -2(1.5)^x + 2

• f(x) = -2(1.5)^x - 2

• f(x) = -2*2(1.5)^x

• f(x) = 1.5(-4)^x
