We cannot transform the black graph f(x) to match the green graph c.

In Mathematics and Geometry, a transformation is the movement of an end point from its initial position (pre-image) to a new location (image). This ultimately implies that, when a geometric figure or object is transformed, all of its points would also be transformed.

Generally speaking, there are three (3) main types of rigid transformation and these include the following:

  1. Translations
  2. Reflections
  3. Rotations.

By critically observing the graph shown above, we can logically deduce that we cannot transform the black graph f(x) to match the green graph c because the black graph has a constant piece that is 3 units long to the right, while the green graph c has a constant piece that is 4 units long.

Recall that transformation does not change the shape of the graph of a function. It can only change the position or size of the graph of a function.

From the given options a to e;
