What equation should I use?

OpenStudy (metalslayer):

I understand that 1 point is moved 5 units left while one is moved 4 units right. How do I explain it. I know the equation starts with g(x) = f(x+?)+?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That looks like a dilation, not a translation. I don't know how to find the scale or center of dilation though

OpenStudy (metalslayer):

oh I see. So the equation is g(x) = 2f(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah that looks like it

OpenStudy (metalslayer):

I think it is g(x) = f(2x)

OpenStudy (metalslayer):

Yea it's the second equation, because the first one is for the y intercept.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah because of the horizontal stretch

OpenStudy (metalslayer):

can you help me with another one? (last one)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'll try

OpenStudy (metalslayer):

It is the t -11.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think maybe g(x) = 2f(x-6).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the height doubled and it looks like all the x's were moved right by 6

OpenStudy (metalslayer):

Yes! Exactly right. Thanks!
