g(x) = -(1)/(2)(x-3)+7?

A. Shifted left 3 units
B. Vertically compressed by a factor of 2

Answer:

The transformation was not done is Shifted left 3 units

Explanation:

* Lets talk about the transformation

- If the function f(x) reflected across the x-axis, then the new

function g(x) = - f(x)

- If the function f(x) reflected across the y-axis, then the new

function g(x) = f(-x)

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the right

by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x - h)

- If the function f(x) translated horizontally to the left

by h units, then the new function g(x) = f(x + h)

- If the function f(x) translated vertically up

by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) + k

- If the function f(x) translated vertically down

by k units, then the new function g(x) = f(x) – k

- A vertical stretching is the stretching of the graph away from

the x-axis

- A vertical compression is the squeezing of the graph toward

the x-axis.

- if k > 1, the graph of y = k•f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically

stretched by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k.

- if 0 < k < 1 (a fraction), the graph is f(x) vertically compressed

by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k.

- if k should be negative, the vertical stretch or compress is

followed by a reflection across the x-axis.

* now lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x

∵ g(x) = -1/2 (x - 3) + 7

# -1/2 means the graph is vertically compressed by a factor of 2

and reflected over the x-axis

# x - 3 means the graph shifted to the right 3 units

# + 7 means the graph shifted up 7 units

* The transformation was not done is Shifted left 3 units
