Answer:
- g(x) = 2|x|
- g(x) = -2|x|
- g(x) = -2|x| -3
- g(x) = -2|x-1| -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Vertical stretch is accomplished by multiplying the function value by the stretch factor. When |x| is stretched by a factor of 2, the stretched function is ...
g(x) = 2|x|
__
2) Reflection over the x-axis means each y-value is replaced by its opposite. This is accomplished by multiplying the function value by -1.
g(x) = -2|x|
__
3) As you know from when you plot a point on a graph, shifting it down 3 units subtracts 3 from the y-value.
g(x) = -2|x| -3
__
4) A right-shift by k units means the argument of the function is replaced by x-k. We want a right shift of 1 unit, so ...
g(x) = -2|x -1| -3
