Question

Describe how to translate the graph of g(x) = ln x into the graph of f(x)= ln (-5)+5

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

We know:

1. Replacing -x into x of an equations reflects the graph on the y-axis

2. If f(x) is a function, then f(x)+a is a vertically translated graph of the original graph, a units up

Looking at the original function of ln x and the transformed graph of ln(-x) +5, we see that we have replaced x with -x, which means it is a reflection across the y-axis.

Also, we have added a five after the function, so that means it is a vertical translation of 5 units up.

Looking at the answer choices, we see that B is the correct answer.
