Question

Let f(x) = 4|x|

If g(x) is the graph of f(x) shifted right 5 units, write a formula for g(x)


g(x)=

Answer 1

g(x)=4|x-5|

Explanation:

Since the question wants you to shift 5 units to the right, all you need to do is add that - 5 inside the absolute value with the x, and it will shift the function 5 units to the right. I even attached a picture to prove that when adding - 5 inside the absolute value with the x, it shifts the function g(x) 5 units to the right.

Hope this helps! :)
