My last question. I will give medals... 1. Translate the graph according to the rule (x, y) → (x – 2, y). Then write the function for the graph. Name the function g(x). GRAPH IN IMAGE.

This is something I've had trouble with for a long time lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't understand the sentence 'translate the graph according to (x, y) -> (x-2, y)'

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

f(x) -> f(x - a) means shift a units to the right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry I'm kinda lost...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What graph are we supposed to translate according to (x, y) -> (x - 2, y) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The image I attached

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

|dw:1433017004679:dw|

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

the image attached only shows the axis... no graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the equation is (x-2,y)

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

so 'a' would = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I just draw a line through the points -2 and 2

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

yes... if the original x value is 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so what's the function of the graph @Z4K4R1Y4?

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

if the original function was f(x) = x then the new function is g(x) = x-2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you sure I don't want to get anything wrong...

OpenStudy (z4k4r1y4):

you can tag someone else to check if you want.
