Describe how to transform the graph of
To obtain the graph of g(x), translate the graph of function f(x) to right by 2 units followed by 3 units down.
Given:
Calculation:
The given function is
The parent function is
We can see that 3 has been subtracted from x in g(x).
Whenever any constant ‘c’ is subtracted from x , then the graph will be translated right by ‘c’ units.
Hence, the graph will be translated right by 3 units.
Now, 2 has been subtract from the function. And as per the transformation rule, whenever we subtract any constant ‘c from function, then the graph will translate down by c units.
Hence, the graph will be translated down by 3 units.
Therefore, in order to obtain the graph of g(x), translate the graph of function f(x) to right by 2 units followed by 3 units down.
Below, is the graph.
