Question

Select the correct answer.

Which statement is true about the effects of the transformations on the graph of function f to obtain the graph of function g.

g(x) = f(x − 3) + 4

A.
The graph of function f is shifted left 3 units and up 4 units.
B.
The graph of function f is shifted right 3 units and up 4 units.
C.
The graph of function f is shifted right 3 units and down 4 units.
D.
The graph of function f is shifted left 3 units and down 4 units.

Answer 1

Answer: Choice B) right 3, up 4

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

When going from f(x) to f(x-3), we replaced x with x-3.

Doing this shifts the xy axis 3 units to the left since each x input is three units smaller than before. If we had the f(x) curve fixed in place while the axis moves like this, then it gives the illusion of the curve moving 3 units to the right.

The +4 at the end adds 4 to each y coordinate to shift things 4 units up.
