The function f(x)=3⋅4x+5 is translated to become g(x)=3⋅4x−2. What is the effect on f(x)?

We are given the function f(x) = 3.4x + 5. We are asked to find the effect on it when it is translated to become g(x) = 3.4x - 2.

To answer this, we must first find out what the change was between f(x) and g(x).

From 3.4x + 5, it became 3.4x - 2. Subtracting the two, we find that:


(3.4x-2)_-(3.4x+5)=-7

there is a -7 change in the function.

This means that the entire graph is moved 7 units downward since every point in f(x) is moved 7 places below its original position to move it to g(x).
