Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in the image asks to find the new function after translating the function left 1 unit and up 2 units.
For translations:
- A translation left by 1 unit modifies the function inside the absolute value by adding 1: .
- A translation up by 2 units adds 2 to the entire function: .
Therefore, the new function becomes:
The correct answer is:

- How does translating right by 2 units affect ?
- What is the general form of a function translated left by units and up by units?
- How do reflections affect the absolute value function ?
- Can horizontal and vertical stretches or compressions be combined with translations?
Tip: Translations inside the absolute value modify the -axis movements, while changes outside affect vertical movements!
