Answer:

Answer: for One Unit to the Left: |1/2 x -3/2|+3

Step-by-step explanation: When translating to the left, you are going to end up with f(x-(-1)) meaning x+1. Even though left means subtracting, in translation it’s adding. (I hope that made sense).

that would create the equation |1/2x(x+1)-2|+3

If you solve that, it would simplify to |1/2x-3/2| which is the answer
