Question

HELPP!!!!! HURRY!!!! Function g(x) = |x − 9| is a transformation of function f(x) = |x|. What effect does the value 9 have on the graph of function f? A. It translates the graph 9 units to the left. B. It translates the graph 9 units to the right. C. It vertically compresses the graph by a factor of 9. D. It vertically stretches the graph by a factor of 9.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

Answer 2

B: It translates the graph 9 units to the right.

Explanation:

The value 9 has the effect of translating the graph of function f(x) = |x| 9 units to the right. This is because the transformation g(x) = |x - 9| is obtained from f(x) = |x| by subtracting 9 from the argument of the absolute value function. This has the effect of shifting the graph of f(x) to the right by 9 units.

Therefore, the correct answer is B: It translates the graph 9 units to the right.
