Answer: translation 8 units to the right
Step-by-step explanation:
An even function is a function such that:
h(x) = h(-x)
and the function is odd if:
h(-x) = -h(x)
Now, let's talk about transformations:
A) Reflection over the x-axis:
When we have a point (x,y) and we do a reflection over the x-axis, the reflected point will be:
(x, -y).
Then for the case of a function:
y = h(x).
then the reflection will be:
g(x) = - y = -h(x).
And if h(x) is even, -h(x) is also even, so this is not the correct option.
B) Vertical stretch by a factor of 7.
This is written as:
g(x) = 7*h(x).
then:
g(x) = 7*h(x)
g(-x) = 7*h(-x) = 7*h(x) = g(x)
the transformation is even.
C) Translation of 8 units to the right.
We can write this as:
g(x) = h(x - 8).
Then:
g(-x) = h(-x -8) = h(x + 8)
Then g(-x) is not equal to g(x)
and also g(-x) ≠ -g(x)
So in this case the transformation is neither odd or even.
C) horizontal compression by a factor of One-half.
This transformation is written as:
g(x) = h( (1/2)*x)
And, similar as the case of the vertical compression, in this case the transformation is also even.
