Question

In Exercise, describe how the graph of g is related to the graph of f.
g(x)=-1+f(x)

Answer 1

The graph of g is the graph of f shifted down 1 unit.

Explanation:

Suppose you have a function y = f(x), you can do these following operations on the function:

Shift up a units: y = f(x) + a

Shift down a units: y = f(x) - a

Shift left a units: y = f(x + a)

Shift right a units: y = f(x - a)

In this problem, we have that:

g(x) = -1 + f(x) = f(x) - 1

So the graph of g is the graph of f shifted down 1 unit.
