Question

let f (x) represent a function. Which descriptions match the given transformations?

Answer 1

f(x) is translated 5/3 units right

f(x) is translated 5/3 units down

Explanation:

When a value is inside the parentheses, it's a horizontal shift, and if it's positive, it's that many to the left, while if it's negative, it's that many to the right. In the first case, it's inside the parentheses and negative, so it's translated 5/3 units right.

When a value is outside the parentheses (and not being multiplied or divided), it's a vertical shift, and if it's positive it goes up and, negative, down. In the second case it's outside the parentheses and negative, so it's translated 5/3 units down.
