If the graph of y=|x| is translated so that the point (1,1) is moved to (4,1) what is the equation of the new graph?

Respuesta :

This question is solved using translation concepts, and doing this, it is found that the equation of the new graph is:

[tex]y = |x - 3|[/tex]

--------------------------

When a function f(x) is translated a units to the left, we get f(x - a).

--------------------------

In this question:

The original function is [tex]y = |x|[/tex]

Point (1,1) is moved to (4,1), that is, 3 is added to the x-coordinate, meaning that the function was shifted 3 units to the left.

Thus, the new equation is:

[tex]y = g(x) = f(x - 3) = |x - 3|[/tex]
