Question

how does the graph of f(x)=3|x+2|+4 relate to its parent function?

a. the parent function has been translated to the left

b. the parent function has been stretched

c. the parent function has been translated up

d. the parent function has been compressed

Answer 1

f(x) + a is f(x) shifted upward a units
f(x) – a is f(x) shifted downward a units
f(x + a) is f(x) shifted left a units
f(x – a) is f(x) shifted right a units
–f(x) is f(x) flipped upside down
("reflected about the x-axis")
f(–x) is the mirror of f(x)

Answer 2

I would now assume it would be a, b, and c
