Question

Use a graphing calculator to graph the function and its parent function. Then describe the transformations, f(x)=(x+3)+1/4​

Answer 1

Most of the graphing resources used shows that the graph is translated up by 3.25 (3 + 1/4). If you add the 3 and the 1/4, you get the equation of a line:

f(x) = x + 3.25,

which means that the graph of f(x)= x now has a y intercept of 3.25.

The graphs are below. The red line represents f(x) = x, and the green line represents (x+3)+1/4. Hope this helps!
