We want to describe the transformations of the parent function f(x)=3x represented by g(x)=3x+4−5. To do so, let's look at the possible transformations. Then, we can more clearly identify the ones being applied.
Transformations of f(x) | |
---|---|
Vertical Translations | Translation up k units, k>0y=f(x)+k |
Translation down k units, k>0y=f(x)−k | |
Horizontal Translations | Translation right h units, h>0y=f(x−h) |
Translation left h units, h>0y=f(x+h) |
Now, using the table, let's highlight the transformations. g(x)=3x+4−5 We can describe the transformations as a horizontal translation left 4 unit and a vertical translation down 5 units. Let's consider the graph of the rational function f(x)=3x.
Next, we will apply the transformations to the graph of f(x) to obtain the graph of g(x).
Therefore, we have the graph of each function.
