What effect does replacing x with x + 2 have on the graph for the function f(x) ?

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is A.

When replacing the variable 'x' by 'x + 2' the graph is shifted 2 units to the left. When we replace the variable, the function changes

from
$f(x) = |x - 3| + 2$

To
$f(x) = |(x + 2) - 3| + 2$
$f(x) = |x - 1| + 2$

And therefore the function is shifted 2 to the left.

Let x represent number of wrong questions answered by Aaron.

We have been given that Aaron is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 20 points available. Each question is worth exactly 1 point. We are asked to find Aaron's score (out of 20) if he got 6 questions wrong.

To find Aaron's score, we will subtract number of wrong answers from total score.

$\text{Aaron's score}=\text{Total score}-\text{Number of wrong answers}$
