Math Problem Statement
Find g(x), where g(x) is the translation 5 units left and 5 units up of f(x)=|x|. Write your answer in the form a|x–h|+k, where a, h, and k are integers. g(x)=
Solution
To find the translation of that moves 5 units to the left and 5 units up, we need to apply transformations accordingly:
-
Left Translation by 5 Units: Shifting left means we add 5 to . So, we replace with in the function.
- This gives .
-
Up Translation by 5 Units: Shifting up means we add 5 to the entire function.
- This gives .
Thus, the translated function is:
This is already in the form , where:
- ,
- ,
- .

Here are five related questions:
- How do different translations (left, right, up, down) affect the graph of an absolute value function?
- What would happen if we reflected the graph of across the x-axis?
- How can we identify the vertex of a translated absolute value function?
- How do we describe horizontal and vertical stretches or compressions of ?
- What effect does changing the value of have on the graph of ?
Tip: Translating a function left or right involves changing the input (inside the absolute value), while translating up or down affects the output (outside the absolute value).
