Math Problem Statement
g(x)=f(x)+1. The function has been shifted __ units ? up down left right .
g(x)=f(x+2). The function has been shifted __units ? up down left right .
g(x)= f(x)-1The function has been shifted __ units ? up down left right .
g(x)=f(x-1)The function has been shifted ___ units ? up down left right .
Solution
Let’s analyze each transformation and fill in the blanks:
-
:
- Adding 1 outside the function means the graph is shifted 1 unit up.
-
:
- Adding 2 inside the function argument means the graph is shifted 2 units left. (Remember: shifts left because it affects the input oppositely.)
-
:
- Subtracting 1 outside the function means the graph is shifted 1 unit down.
-
:
- Subtracting 1 inside the function argument means the graph is shifted 1 unit right.
Final Answers:
- : 1 unit up
- : 2 units left
- : 1 unit down
- : 1 unit right
