Answer:
a vertical shift of f, c units down
Explanation:
Given:
- A function h(x) is defined as:
h(x) = f(x) − c
Find:
- The effect of "c" on the f(x) function.
Solution:
- The effect of adding or subtracting any constant to or from a given function f(x) shifts the f(x) value for all values of x by an amount "c"
- This effect can be modeled on a graph by a "vertical shift" i.e there is an increase/decrease in every "y" value by amount "c" units.
- In the case given we see that "c" units have been subtracted from original f(x).
- Meaning, all f(x) values have decreased for every value of x. This can be categorized as vertical shift of f(x) with "c" units down.
