The graph of f is translated a whole number of units horizontally and vertically to obtain the graph of g

The function f is defined by f(x) = -|x|.
Write down the expression for g(x).

To find the expression for the function g(x) based on the translation of the function f(x)=|x|, we need to understand how horizontal and vertical translations work.

  1. Horizontal Translation: If you translate the graph horizontally by h units (to the right if h>0 and to the left if h<0), the function changes as follows: f(x)f(xh)

  2. Vertical Translation: If you translate the graph vertically by k units (upward if k>0 and downward if k<0), the function changes as follows: f(x)f(x)+k

So, to find g(x) after applying both a horizontal translation by h units and a vertical translation by k units, we would use the following expression: g(x)=f(xh)+k

Substituting f(x)=|x| into this expression gives: g(x)=|xh|+k

Thus, the expression for g(x) after the given translations will be: g(x)=|xh|+k

To finalize, you would specify the values for h and k based on the specific translations performed. If values are not given, your expression should remain in terms of h and k.

Write it so i can drag it

Certainly! Here’s the expression for g(x) in a draggable format:

g(x)=|xh|+k

You can adjust h and k according to the specific translations you want to apply. Let me know if you need further assistance!

Whats the anwser

The expression for g(x) after translating the function f(x)=|x| horizontally by h units and vertically by k units is:

g(x)=|xh|+k

If you have specific values for h (horizontal translation) and k (vertical translation), please provide those, and I can give you a more specific expression for g(x). If no specific translations are provided, g(x) simply remains in this general form.

If you are looking for a specific translation (like a certain number of units left, right, up, or down), please let me know!
