Question

Which of the following describes a translation of f(x) right 3 units?

g(x) = x - 3
g(x) = 3x
g(x) = -3x
g(x) = (x - 3)

Answer 1

Going to the right is subtracting from x while inside the parentheses (if outside, it would be going down). Multiplying is either a vertical or horizontal expansion or compression, adding in the parentheses is to the left, adding outside is upwards. This, it should be (x-3). Hope it helps!
