Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the function g(x) = 2x + 3 is transformed to g(x) = 2(x - 1) + 3, what type of transformation has occurred?
  • Step 1: Start with the original function g(x) = 2x + 3.
  • Step 2: Look at the transformed function g(x) = 2(x - 1) + 3.
  • Step 3: Notice that inside the parentheses, x is replaced by (x - 1).
  • Step 4: Understand that replacing x with (x - 1) means we are shifting the graph horizontally.
  • Step 5: Since we are subtracting 1 from x, this indicates a shift to the right.
  • Step 6: Conclude that the transformation is a horizontal shift to the right by 1 unit.
