Question

The function f(x) is shown below:

f(x) = (5)x - 1

The function f(x) is shifted to the right by 13 units. Which of the following best represents the new function?

f(x) = (5)x + 13

f(x) = (5)x + 12

f(x) = (5)x - 14

f(x) = (5)x - 13

Answer 1

I think it's f(x) = (5)^x - 13

Answer 2

I'm not that sure though.

Answer 3

Here's a screenshot of the question if that makes things easier.

Answer 4

im pretty sure its b

Answer 5

if you're shifting it to the right youre adding. -1+13=12

Answer 6

Remember that when we make `horizontal` shifts, we do the opposite operation, yes? :)

So to shift something to the right by 13, we would subtract 13 from our x.

Answer 7

\[\Large\rm f(x)=5^{\color{orangered}{x}-1}\qquad\to\qquad F(x)=5^{\color{orangered}{x-13}-1}\]

Answer 8

So it would be f(x) = (5)^x - 13? or f(x) = (5)^x - 14?

Answer 9

since there's the \[5^x-13-1\]

Answer 10

yes c: good.

Answer 11

To be clear (sorry, I'm a complete dweeb when it comes to math), it'd be (5)^x - 14?

Answer 12

Yes.
5^(x-14)

Answer 13

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! :)

Answer 14

np dweeb c; hah
