Which statement best describes the effect of replacing the function f(x) = 2x + 2 with the function g(x) = 2x - 3?
2 answers:
The correct answer is: <span>The graph shifts 5 units right
Explanation:
Below is the graph attached of both the equations:
Red line: Represents f(x) = </span><span>2x + 2.
Blue line: Represents g(x) = 2x - 3.
As you can see in the graph that g(x) is shifted 5 units right to f(x).
If you move towards right by 1 unit, you have to subtract 1 from f(x) until you reach g(x) like:
2x + 2 - 1 = 2x + 1 (1 unit)
</span>2x + 1 - 1 = 2x (1 unit)
2x - 1 = 2x - 1 (1 unit)
2x - 1 -1 = 2x - 2 (1 unit)
2x -2 - 1 = 2x -3 (1 unit)
Total 5 units.
Hence the correct answer is t<span>he graph shifts 5 units right.</span>

The method we need to use here is very particular to this type of a situation. The way we will find that polynomial, or the divisor, is to follow this formula: 
. For us that will look like this: 
. First we will simplify as much as possible that very long numerator there. It simplifies to 
. What you do now is use long division of polynomials, which, unfortunately, is impossible to show in this forum. However, get familiar with the long division process if you are not already, and you will find that your polynomial g(x) is
