Math Problem Statement
The graph f(x) = |x| is shown. Let g(x) be a transformation of f(x) shifted up 4 and right 5. Draw the graph of g(x) and write its formula.
Solution
The graph you provided shows the function , which is the standard absolute value function. The problem asks to transform by shifting it up 4 units and right 5 units, and then draw the resulting graph, , and write its formula.
Steps to find the transformed function :
- Horizontal Shift (Right by 5 units): To shift a function to the right by 5 units, we replace with . So, the function becomes .
- Vertical Shift (Up by 4 units): To shift the graph up by 4 units, we add 4 to the function. So, the new function becomes .
Thus, the transformed function is:
Graph Description:
- The vertex of the original absolute value function is at .
- After shifting it right by 5 units and up by 4 units, the vertex of will be at .
- The graph will still have the same "V" shape, but it will be moved to this new vertex.
Final Answer:
The transformation of is:
Would you like a more detailed explanation or have any questions?
Here are five related questions to explore:
- How would you shift the graph left by 3 units and down by 2 units?
- What would happen to the graph if you reflected it over the x-axis?
- How does shifting affect the domain and range of the function?
- Can you describe how to vertically stretch or compress the absolute value graph?
- What is the general formula for a translated absolute value function?
Tip: When transforming graphs, always handle horizontal and vertical shifts separately to avoid confusion.
