Describe in words how the graph of g(x) below is related to the graph of f(x).

Question

Answer 1

According to the rules for transformation, the addition of a constant (+3) shifts the original graph up by 3 units. Adding a constant to the independent variable itself (-1) shifts the graph one unit to right. Multiplying the original function by a constant (2) stretches the graph by a factor of two. In the present case, all 3 effects are combined.
