Math Problem Statement
There is a function h that has been shifted 3 unit up and 1 unit left from the function f(x) = | x-1| + 2. sketch both the function
Solution
Here is the graph of the two functions:
- The blue line represents , which has a vertex at .
- The red dashed line represents , which is the result of shifting 1 unit left and 3 units up, and has its vertex at .
Would you like more details or have any specific questions?
Here are 5 related questions to explore further:
- How would the graph change if the function was shifted 2 units down instead of up?
- What happens to the graph if we reflect it over the x-axis?
- How does the slope of the absolute value function affect the shape of the graph?
- How do different horizontal shifts affect the domain and range of the function?
- What is the effect of a vertical stretch on an absolute value function?
Tip: Always identify the vertex of an absolute value function first, as it helps you understand the transformations more easily.
