Consider the function f(x) = 2 ^x.and the function g(x).

g(x) = f(x + 4)
= 2^(x+4)
How will the graph of g(x) differ from the graph of f(x)?
A.
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted 4 units to the left.
B.
The graph of g(x) is the graph of Ax) shifted 4 units upward.
C.
The graph of g(x) is the graph of Ax) shifted 4 units to the right.
D.
The graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted 4 units downward.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Hello,

g(x-4)=f(x) so the graph of g is the graph of f shifted 4 units to the left.

For any x, the point (x-4, g(x-4)) is 4 units to the left of the point (x,f(x)).

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you
