Answer:

the function g(x) is;


g(x)=|x+4|

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function f(x) to be;


f(x)=|x|

As shown on the graph the graph of f(x) and g(x) are plotted on the same graph.

f(x) was translated 4 units to the left to get g(x).

So, we can derive the function of g(x) as;


\begin{gathered} g(x)=f(x-(-4))=f(x+4) \\ \text{ substituting x+4 for x in f(x);} \\ g(x)=f(x+4)=|x+4| \\ g(x)=|x+4| \end{gathered}

Therefore, the function g(x) is;


g(x)=|x+4|
