Solution

To solve this question, we analyze how transformations affect the given graph f(x)f(x), as follows:


Transformations Explained

  1. f(x3)f(x - 3) (Option A):

    • Horizontal shift to the right by 3 units.
    • Each xx-coordinate increases by 3, but yy-values remain unchanged.
  2. f(x)2f(x) - 2 (Option B):

    • Vertical shift downward by 2 units.
    • Each yy-coordinate decreases by 2, but xx-values remain the same.
  3. f(x)-f(x) (Option C):

    • Reflection across the xx-axis.
    • The yy-coordinates are multiplied by -1, flipping the graph vertically.
  4. f(x+1)f(x + 1) (Option D):

    • Horizontal shift to the left by 1 unit.
    • Each xx-coordinate decreases by 1, while yy-values stay the same.
  5. f(x)f(-x) (Option E):

    • Reflection across the yy-axis.
    • The xx-coordinates are negated, flipping the graph horizontally.
  6. f(x)|f(x)| (Option F):

    • All negative yy-values become positive, reflecting any part of the graph below the xx-axis upward.

Step-by-Step Summary of Each Option

  1. Option A: f(x3)f(x - 3):

    • Shift the graph 3 units to the right.
  2. Option B: f(x)2f(x) - 2:

    • Shift the graph 2 units downward.
  3. Option C: f(x)-f(x):

    • Reflect the graph vertically across the xx-axis.
  4. Option D: f(x+1)f(x + 1):

    • Shift the graph 1 unit to the left.
  5. Option E: f(x)f(-x):

    • Reflect the graph horizontally across the yy-axis.
  6. Option F: f(x)|f(x)|:

    • Reflect all parts of the graph below the xx-axis upward so that y0y \geq 0.

Graph Summary

If you plot each of these transformations, the resulting graphs would look like:

  • f(x3)f(x-3) shifted right.
  • f(x)2f(x)-2 shifted down.
  • f(x)-f(x) flipped vertically.
  • f(x+1)f(x+1) shifted left.
  • f(x)f(-x) flipped horizontally.
  • f(x)|f(x)|, where negative yy-values are reflected upward.
