Question

Find g(x), where g(x) is the translation 8 units right of f(x)=|x|.

Write your answer in the form a|x–h|+k, where a, h, and k are integers.

Answer 1

g(x) = |x -8|

Explanation:

In the form a|x -h| +k, the parameters are ...

• a -- the vertical scale factor (1)
• h -- the translation to the right (8)
• k -- the translation upward (0)

So your translated function is ...

g(x) = |x -8|
