Question

Use the functions below to complete Parts 1 and 2.

f(x)= |x| g(x)= |x+2| - 3

Part 1: Graph f(x) and g(x) on the grid below. Label each graph.

HINT: Making a table of values for each function may help you to graph them.

Part 2: describe how the graph of g(x) relates to the graph of its parent function, f(x).

HINT: Think about how f(x) was shifted to get g(x).

Answer 1

Answer:

1. see below

2. g(x) is f(x) translated left 2 and down 3

Explanation:

1. The graphs are attached. F(x) is in red; g(x) is in blue.

__

2. The graph of g(x) = f(x -h) +k is the parent function translated by (h, k). Here we have (h, k) = (-2, -3), so g(x) is f(x) translated left 2 and down 3.
