Question

Given (7,-6) is on the graphof f(x), find the corresponding point for the function f(x+2)

Answer 1

are you familiar with regular transformations like this translation?

Answer 2

No I am so confused.

Answer 3

To shift a function left, add inside the function's argument: f(x + b) gives f(x) shifted b units to the left.

Answer 4

If you shifted the function left 2 units, that means that the point (7,-6) is shifted 2 units to the left. Do you think you can find the answer now?

Answer 5

I come up with (9,-6). Use this right??

Answer 6

Is*

Answer 7

Try again, remember that it is shifted two units to the LEFT, meaning the negative direction of the x-axis.

Answer 8

(5,-6)

Answer 9

I swear I don't understand

Answer 10

Do I take 2 away

Answer 11

If you can be so kind to write it out for me I am a visual learner

Answer 12

Answer 13

I have graphed y=x^2 on this graph, and the corresponding transformations. As you can see, the f(x+2) is shifted to the left.
