Question

Which of the following correctly identifies the transformations undergone from f(x)=|x|
to f(−x)+6=|−x|+6
?(1 point)
Responses

reflected across the x-axis and translated up vertically
reflected across the x -axis and translated up vertically

reflected across the y-axis and translated up vertically
reflected across the y -axis and translated up vertically

reflected across the x-axis and translated down vertically
reflected across the x -axis and translated down vertically

reflected across the y-axis and translated down vertically
reflected across the y -axis and translated down vertically

Answer 1

To analyze the transformation from \( f(x) = |x| \) to \( f(-x) + 6 = | -x | + 6 \):

1. The expression \( f(-x) \) represents a reflection across the y-axis because replacing \( x \) with \( -x \) in the function flips it horizontally.

2. The addition of \( +6 \) indicates a vertical translation upward by 6 units.

Therefore, the transformations undergone can be summarized as:

- Reflected across the y-axis
- Translated up vertically by 6 units

So, the correct response is:

**reflected across the y-axis and translated up vertically**.
