Answer:
The transformation is " a horizontal translation 4 units to the right " ⇒ (d)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us revise the translation of a function
- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the right by h units, then its image is g(x) = f(x - h)
- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the left by h units, then its image is g(x) = f(x + h)
- If the function f(x) translated vertically up by k units, then its image is g(x) = f(x) + k
- If the function f(x) translated vertically down by k units, then its image is g(x) = f(x) - k
Let us look at the graph and choose some points on the f(x) and find their images on y
∵ Point (1, 2) lies on f(x)
∵ Point (5, 2) lies on y
∵ Point (3, 8) lies on f(x)
∵ Point (7, 8) lies on y
→ There is no change in the y-coordinates of the points, the change
only in the x-coordinates
∴ The translation is horizontally
∵ 5 - 1 = 4 units ⇒ positive value means to right
∴ f(x) is translated 4 units to the right
∴ The answer is " a horizontal translation 4 units to the right " (d)
