Answer 1

there are two correct options:

• A translation of 6 units down: g(x) = f(x) - 6
• A translation of 2 units to the right: g(x) = f(x - 2).

How to relate the function g(x) to the function f(x)?

We know that:

f(x) = 3x + 1

Now, if we look at the graph of f(x), we can see that the y-intercept is at y = -5, and for each increase in one unit in the x-variable, there is an increase of 3 units in the y-variable.

Then the equation of g(x) is:

g(x) = 3*x - 5

Then g(x) is a translation downwards of 6 units, such that:

g(x) = f(x) - 6 = (3x + 1) - 6 = 3x - 5

And we also could write it as a horizontal translation of 2 units to the right:

g(x) = f(x - 2) = 3*(x - 2) + 1 = 3*x - 3*2 + 1 = 3x - 5

So there are two correct options:

• A translation of 6 units down: g(x) = f(x) - 6
• A translation of 2 units to the right: g(x) = f(x - 2).
