Question

1. Describe the transformations shown in the function 3f(x+2)-1 * A. Vertical Stretch of 3, Left 2, Down 1 B. Vertical Compression of 1/2, Left 2, Down 1C. Vertical Stretch of 3, Right 2, Up 1 D. Vertical Stretch of 3, Right 2, Down 1

Answer 1

First of all this is a linear function, and the basic function f(x) has now been translated to become

3f(x + 2 ) - 1

This means the basic function has been stretched by 3 units, moved two units to the right (which is x + 2) and one unit down (- 1)

The option D, describes the transformation that occured which is;

D: Vertical stretch of 3, Right 2, Down 1.
