Write a function whose graph represents a translation 1 unit down and 2 units left follwed by a vertical shrink by a factor of 1/2 of the graph f(x)=|x|

Answer 1

f(x) = (1/2)|x+2| -1

shift left, increase x by that amount, x to x+2

shift down, subtract 0 constant term to -1

compress, or vertical shrink, change the coefficient by that amount, 1 to 1/2
