Question

Identify the effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x - h)

Answer 1

Given:

Replace f(x) by f(x - h).

To find:

The effect on the graph of replacing f(x) by f(x - h).

Solution:

Horizontal shift is defined as:

If the graph f(x) shifts h units left, then f(x+h).

If the graph f(x) shifts h units right, then f(x-h).

Where, h is a constant that represents the horizontal shift.

In the given problem f(x) is replaced by f(x - h) and we need to find the effect on the graph.

Here, we have x-h in place of x.

Therefore, the graph of f(x) shifts h units right to get the graph of f(x-h).
