Question

Given the function, ƒ(x) = 1/(x+1) - 5, choose the correct transformation.

a. left 1, down 5

b. left 1, up 5

c. right 1, down 5

d. right 1, up 5

Answer 1

a is the answer for this question

Answer 2

Option A left 1, and down 5

Explanation:

Parent function is g(x) =
`(1)/(x)`

When transformed becomes f(x) =
`(1)/((x+1))-5`

Transformations done are

(1) g(x) =
`(1)/(x)` shifted 1 unit left on x axis then function becomes g'(x) =
`(1)/((x+1))`

(2) Then g'(x) shifted 5 units down on y-axis then g'(x) becomes f(x) =
`(1)/((x+1))-5`

Option A left 1, and down 5 is the answer.
