Question

Pleaaasseee help!!! BRAINLIEST FOR CORRECT ANSWER!! What is the transformation rule for a translation 3 units right?

Answer 1

Answer:

Rule: replace x by x - a where a is the number of units that you want to move right. a must be greater than 0. x - - a  would move left.

Step-by-step explanation:

You want f(x) to move 3 units to the right.

That would mean that  x would be replaced by x - 3.  Just to be sure let's try it.

• Suppose you have f(x) = x^2 + 6x + 5       It is graphed as the red line
• Now suppose you want to move 3 units right.
• It would replaced like f(x - 3) = (x - 3)^2 + 6(x - 3) + 5 which is the blue line
• Notice nothing else is changed. The blue line looks exactly like the red line except that it is shifted 3 units to the right.
