Step 1 :The function given is an exponential function, which is a transformation of the basic exponential function. The base of the exponential function is 2, and the exponent is (x-5). The transformation involved here is a horizontal shift, which is determined by the value subtracted from x in the exponent. In this case, x is subtracted by 5, which means the graph of the basic exponential function \(y=2^x\) is shifted 5 units to the right. Therefore, the correct choice is B.
Step 2 :To confirm this, we can plot the function.
Step 3 :The graph of the function \(f(x)=2^{(x-5)}\) is indeed a shift of the graph of the basic exponential function \(y=2^x\) 5 units to the right. This confirms that the correct choice is B.
Step 4 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{B. Start with the graph of } y=2^{x}. \text{ Shift the graph 5 units to the right.}}\)
