Question

4. The red graph (1) is the graph of f(x) = log(x). Describe the transformation of the blue function (2) and write the equation of the graph.

Answer 1

Answer:

Function $f(x)$ is shifted 1 unit left and 1 unit up.

$f(x)\rightarrow f(x+1)+1$

Transformed function $f(x+1)+1=\log(x+1)+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Red graph (Parent function):

$f(x)=\log(x)$

Blue graph (Transformed function)

From the graph we can see that the red graph is shifted 1 units left and 1 units up.

Translation Rules:

$f(x)\rightarrow f(x+c)$

If $c>0$ the function shifts $c$ units to the left.

If $c$ the function shifts $c$ units to the right.

$f(x)\rightarrow f(x)+c$

If $c>0$ the function shifts $c$ units to the up.

If $c$ the function shifts $c$ units to the down.

Applying the rules to $f(x)$

The transformation statement is thus given by:

$f(x)\rightarrow f(x+1)+1$

As function $f(x)$ is shifted 1 unit left and 1 unit up.

Transformed function is given by:

$f(x+1)+1=\log(x+1)+1$
