Question

Transform y f(x) by translating it right 2 units. Label the new functiong(x). Compare the coordinates of the corresponding points that makeup the 2 functions. Which coordinate changes. x or y?

Answer 1

If we translate y = f(x) 2 units to the right, we would have to sum and get g(x) =f(x+2).

That means the x-coordinates of g(x) are going to have 2 extra units than f(x).

`(x,y)\rightarrow(x+2,y)`

Therefore, with the given transformation (2 units rightwards) the function changes its x-coordinates.
