Math Problem Statement

Which of the following correctly shows the transformations being applied? Select all that apply.

Solution

The question asks to identify which of the graphs correctly apply the transformations described.

Let’s analyze each option:

  1. Option A: The transformation f(x)f(x2)f(x) \to f(x-2) represents a horizontal shift to the right by 2 units. The blue graph does show the red graph shifted right, so this transformation is correct.

  2. Option B: The transformation f(x)f(x+1)f(x) \to f(x+1) represents a horizontal shift to the left by 1 unit. However, the blue graph shifts right, not left, so this is incorrect.

  3. Option C: The transformation g(x)g(x2)g(x) \to g(x-2) represents a horizontal shift to the right by 2 units. The blue graph matches this transformation since it is shifted right.

  4. Option D: The transformation f(x)f(x+1.5)f(x) \to f(x+1.5) represents a horizontal shift to the left by 1.5 units. The blue graph matches this transformation because the graph is shifted left.

Correct Answers: A, C, and D

Would you like a detailed explanation of the transformations or any clarifications?

Here are 5 related questions to enhance your understanding:

  1. How does a transformation f(x)f(x+c)f(x) \to f(x+c) affect the graph of f(x)f(x)?
  2. What is the difference between horizontal and vertical shifts in transformations?
  3. How do we recognize reflections in a graph?
  4. What happens if we replace xx with x-x in f(x)f(x)?
  5. Can multiple transformations (e.g., shifts and stretches) occur simultaneously?

Tip: Always check whether shifts are horizontal or vertical by looking at whether the transformation modifies xx (horizontal)
