Question

For the function f(x)=3x, what is the translation for f(x)-2 and new function?

A) down 2
B) f(x) - 2 = -3x-2
C) up 2
D) f(x) - 2 = 3x + 2
E) f(x) - 2 = 3x - 2

Answer 1

Answer:

A and E

Step-by-step explanation:

The translation f(x) - 2  means to subtract 3 from the whole function. As an equation this is 3x - 2. On the graph, the function will shift down vertically 2 units.
