Linear Function f is transformed twice to produce g. Write g(x) in terms of f(x).

f is translated 5 units down, then 4 units right. Show work please.

Answer 1

f(x) is translated 4units to the right, it becomes f(x-4)
from then, it is translated 5units down, it becomes f(x-4) -5
At this moment, it becomes g(x)
So that: g(x) = ????
Can you finish the rest??
And: Do you get me??

Answer 2

f(x) =x-9
I think so.

Answer 3

nope, nope , nope!!! g(x) = f(x-4) -5
You CAN'T combine like terms like that, because they are NOT like terms.

Answer 4

oh. so the f(x) doesnt go away

Answer 5

yup

Answer 6

thank you.
