Question

Determine whether the following statement is true or false. Explain.

The graph of y = |x-2|- 2 is a translation two units to the right and two units upward of the graph of y = |x|.

Choose the correct answer below.

A. True, because the graph of y = f(x - h) + k is the translation of the graph of y = f(X) |k| units upward if k= 0 or downward if k < 0, and h units to the right if h> 0 or to the
left if h < 0.

B. True, because the graph of y = f(x- h) + k is the translation of the graph of y = f(x) In| units upward if h = 0 or downward if h < 0, and k units to the right if k> O or to the
left if k < O

C. False, because the graph of y = f(x- h) + k is the translation of the graph of y = f(x) |k| units to the right if k>0 or to the left if k < 0, and h units upward if h downward if h < 0.

D. False, because the graph of y = f(x- h) + k is the translation of the graph of y = f(x) h units to the right if h > 0 or to the left if h < 0, and k units upward if k>downward if k < 0.

Answer 1

D. False

Explanation:

The -2 that's beside the x, close by, inside the absolute value, then the graph is shifted (slid/translated) to the right two units.

The -2 that is tacked on to the end of the equation slides the graph DOWN two units.
