① This GeoGebra example provides an interactive tool to explore how exponential functions transform under parameter changes, including horizontal/vertical shifts, stretches, and reflections. ② The core mathematical concepts involve the general exponential form y = a·b^(x-h) + k, and the effects of transformations on the graph, particularly the movement of the horizontal asymptote. ③ Construction details: the summary lists objects such as asymptote, key points KP_1, KP_2, KP_3, and a text label text1, which are dynamically linked to sliders or inputs to update the graph and point coordinates in real time, enabling visual comparison. ④ This resource is ideal for high school students learning exponential functions and transformations, and for teachers demonstrating these concepts in class or for self-paced exploration.
