Question

If you apply the changes below to the absolute value parent function F(x)= |x|, What is the new function? Shift 5 units to the left, shift 4 units down.

Answer 1

F(x)=|x+5|-4

An absolute value function is in the form F(x)=|x-h|+k where the graph is moved h units right and k units left. In this problem, h=-5 and k=-4.
