(a) To shift the graph of \( f(x) = 8^{x} \) upward by 3 units, you'd add 3 to the entire function. Therefore, the equation becomes \( y = 8^{x} + 3 \). (b) To shift the graph of \( f(x) = 8^{x} \) left by 4 units, you'd replace \( x \) in the function with \( x + 4 \). Thus, the equation becomes \( y = 8^{(x + 4)} \) or equivalently \( y = 8^{x} \cdot 8^{4} \). (c) Reflecting the graph of \( f(x) = 8^{x} \) about the x-axis means multiplying the function by -1. Therefore, the equation becomes \( y = -8^{x} \).
