Math Problem Statement
Graph the given functions, f and g, in the same rectangular coordinate system. Describe how the graph of g is related to the graph of f. f left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals StartAbsoluteValue x EndAbsoluteValue g(x) equals StartAbsoluteValue x EndAbsoluteValueplus5
Solution
The graph of is the standard V-shaped absolute value function, while the graph of is the same V-shaped function, but shifted 5 units upward.
Relationship:
The graph of is a vertical translation of . Specifically, is obtained by moving the graph of up by 5 units.
