If the parent function f(x) = |x| is transformed to g(x) = |x + 5|, what transformation occurs from f(x) to g(x)?

To determine the transformation that occurs from the parent function \( f(x) = |x| \) to \( g(x) = |x + 5| \), we can analyze the expression inside the absolute value.

In \( g(x) = |x + 5| \), the term \( +5 \) indicates that we are shifting the graph of \( f(x) \) horizontally. Specifically, adding a positive value inside the absolute value function leads to a shift to the left.

Thus, the transformation from \( f(x) \) to \( g(x) \) is:

**The graph of \( f(x) \) is shifted to the left to create \( g(x) \).**
