Math Problem Statement

Given f(x) = 3x + 5, describe how the graph of g compares with the graph of f for different transformations of g(x).

Solution

I can help you interpret and solve the math problems in this image. Let’s analyze each question step by step.

The base function is f(x)=3x+5f(x) = 3x + 5, and you are asked to describe how the graph of g(x)g(x) changes compared to f(x)f(x).

Detailed Explanation for Each Problem:

  1. 15. g(x)=(3x+5)+8g(x) = (3x + 5) + 8

    • This adds 8 to the y-values of f(x)f(x), so the graph shifts 8 units up.
  2. 16. g(x)=(3x+5)4g(x) = (3x + 5) - 4

    • Subtracting 4 decreases the y-values, shifting the graph 4 units down.
  3. 17. g(x)=3(x+5)g(x) = 3(x + 5)

    • Replacing xx with x+5x + 5 shifts the graph 5 units to the left.
  4. 18. g(x)=3(x1)+5g(x) = 3(x - 1) + 5

    • Replacing xx with x1x - 1 shifts the graph 1 unit to the right, and the +5+5 keeps the y-intercept constant.
  5. 19. g(x)=3(0.1x)+5g(x) = 3(0.1x) + 5

    • Multiplying xx by 0.10.1 compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of 10.
  6. 20. g(x)=5(3x+5)g(x) = 5(3x + 5)

    • Multiplying the entire equation by 5 increases the slope and stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 5.
  7. 21. g(x)=3(2x)+5g(x) = 3(2x) + 5

    • Replacing xx with 2x2x compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of 2.
  8. 22. g(x)=8(3x+5)g(x) = 8(3x + 5)

    • Multiplying the entire equation by 8 increases the slope further and stretches the graph vertically by a factor of 8.

If you would like, I can expand on any of these explanations or solve additional related problems!


Follow-up Questions:

  1. What are the effects of modifying the slope in f(x)=mx+bf(x) = mx + b?
  2. How does adding/subtracting constants outside f(x)f(x) affect the graph?
  3. How does replacing xx with axax change the graph’s shape?
  4. What is the difference between horizontal and vertical transformations?
  5. Can these transformations be combined to create more complex changes?

Tip: Always plot key points like the y-intercept and a few other values to visualize transformations accurately.
