f(x) to f(x - 5) +4 translated ____ units to the ___ and ___ units __

1 answer

The transformation from f(x) to f(x5)+4 involves two changes:

  1. Horizontal Translation: The term f(x5) indicates a horizontal translation. Specifically, it translates the graph of the function to the right by 5 units. This is because subtracting within the function's argument (x5) moves the graph to the right.

  2. Vertical Translation: The term +4 indicates a vertical translation. This shifts the graph of the function upward by 4 units.

So, to fill in the blanks:

The function f(x) translated 5 units to the right and 4 units upward.
