Question

someone please help me.

The function f(x) is shown below:
f(x) = (5)x - 1

The function f(x) is shifted to the right by 13 units. Which of the following best represents the new function?

f(x) = (5)x + 13

f(x) = (5)x + 12

f(x) = (5)x - 14

f(x) = (5)x - 13

Answer 1

As written, f(x) = 5x-1
So, you will have a shifted f as

g(x) = f(x-13) = 5(x-13)-1 = 5x-66

If, however, your function is

f(x) = 5(x-1), then the shifted function is
g(x) = f(x-13) = 5((x-13)-1) = 5(x-14)

You gotta learn how to use parentheses!!
