How does the graph of g (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x + 4 EndFraction minus 6 compare to the graph of the parent function f (x) = StartFraction 1 Over x EndFraction?

Respuesta :

The transformed equation  [tex]$g(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}-6$[/tex] , the graph is shifted 4 units to the left and 6 units down.

Explanation:

The parent equation is [tex]$f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$[/tex]

The transformed equation is [tex]$g(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}-6$[/tex]

By using the function transformation rules, we can see that the parent function [tex]$f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$[/tex] is transformed into the function [tex]$g(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}-6$[/tex]

Since, from the function transformation rules, we know that,

[tex]$f(x+b)$[/tex] shifts the function b units to the left.

Thus, the transformed function is shifted 4 units to the left.

Also,  from the function transformation rules, we know that,

[tex]$f(x)-b$[/tex] shifts the function b units downward.

Thus, the transformed function is shifted 6 units down.

Thus, the transformed equation  [tex]$g(x)=\frac{1}{x+4}-6$[/tex] , the graph is shifted 4 units to the left and 6 units down.

Answer:

the graph is shifted 4 units to the left and 6 units down.
