To describe the transformations of the given functions, let's analyze them one by one:

  1. For the transformation f(x) → f(x+2) + 1:

    • The term (x + 2) indicates a translation to the left by 2 unit(s) because you are adding 2 inside the function.
    • The +1 outside the function indicates a vertical translation up by 1 unit(s).
    • So, you can fill in the blanks as:
      • It is translated 2 unit(s) to the left and 1 unit(s) up.
  2. For the transformation f(x) → f(x−5) + 4:

    • The term (x - 5) indicates a translation to the right by 5 unit(s) because you are subtracting 5 inside the function.
    • The +4 outside the function indicates a vertical translation up by 4 unit(s).
    • So, you can fill in the blanks as:
      • It is translated 5 unit(s) to the right and 4 unit(s) up.
  3. For the transformation f(x) → f(x−3) - 6:

    • The term (x - 3) indicates a translation to the right by 3 unit(s) as you are subtracting 3 inside the function.
    • The -6 outside the function indicates a vertical translation down by 6 unit(s).
    • So, you can fill in the blanks as:
      • It is translated 3 unit(s) to the right and 6 unit(s) down.

In summary, here are the completed transformations:

  1. It is translated 2 unit(s) to the left and 1 unit(s) up.
  2. It is translated 5 unit(s) to the right and 4 unit(s) up.
  3. It is translated 3 unit(s) to the right and 6 unit(s) down.
