Question

Describe the graph of a function g by observing the graph of the base function f ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Choice 3 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The format of the function when you move it side to side or up and down is

f(x) = (x - h) + k,

where h is the side to side movement and k is up or down.  The k is easy, since it will be positive if we move the function up and negative if we move the function down from its original position.

The h is a little more difficult, but just remember the standard form of the side to side movement is always (x - h).  If our function has moved 3 units to the left, we fit that movement into our standard form as (x - (-3)), which of course is the same as (x + 3).  Our function has moved up 5 units, so the final translation is

g(x) = f(x + 3) + 5, choice 3 from the top.
