Question

The graph of the absolute value parent function is vertically stretched, then shifted 3 units left, 8 units down. Whichequation could represent this function?Select one:O a. f(x) = 2x +3 - 8O b. f(x) = (x +31 - 8O c. f() = 2x = 3 - 8O d. (x) = 3:0 - 31 - 8

Answer 1

f(x) = 2| x + 3| - 8

Step-by-step explanation

The graph is said to be vertically stretched, this implies that it is being multiplied by a positive constant that is greater than 1, if it is multiplied multiplied by a function between 0 and 1, then that is compression. But since it is a vertical stretched, the value(constant) must be greater than 1.

It was shifted 3 units left, this implies we will add 3, 8 units down implies we will subtract 8 units.

Hence, the function is represented as:

f(x) = 2| x + 3| - 8
