Math question about transformations
State the various transformations applied to the base function f(x)=|x| to obtain a graph of the functiong(x) = |x + 1| − 2. Horizontal shift of 1 unit to the left and a vertical shift downward of 2 units. Horizontal shift of 1 unit to the right and a vertical shift downward of 2 units. Horizontal shift of 1 unit to the right and a vertical shift upward of 2 units. Horizontal shift of 1 unit to the left and a vertical shift upward of 2 units.
I think it is A
The function has what as it's vertex?
1?
vertex =(x,y)
its an ordered pair
oh lol
not sure, i had notes and i was thinking its a horizontal shift to the left because its a positive number being added and a vertical shift downwards because a negative is the base
back sorry
y== |x + 1| − 2 the vertex would be in the inside number of the absolute value, change the sign, and the outside number. -1,-2 in this case
so yes, you are right. it is a horizontal shift of 1 unit to the left and a vertical shift downward of 2 units.
ok cool :)
