1. If f(x) = log2 (x) and g(x) is the image of f(x) after a
translation five units to the left, which equation
represents g(x)?
1. g(x) = log 3 (x + 5)
2. g(x) = log 3 (x) + 5
3. g(x) = log 3 (x - 5)
4. g(x) = log 3 (x) - 5

Respuesta :

Hi! The correct answer is 2. g(x) = log3 (x) + 5. Message me if you need further help.

The transformation of a function may involve any change. The correct option is 2. The value will be g(x) = log₂(x+5).

How does the transformation of a function happen?

The transformation of a function may involve any change.

Usually, these can be shifted horizontally (by transforming inputs) or vertically (by transforming output), stretched (multiplying outputs or inputs) etc.

If the original function is y = f(x), assuming the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, then:

Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):

Left shift by c units:

y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)

Right shift by c units:

y=f(x-c)(same output, but c units late)

Vertical shift:

Up by d units: y = f(x) + d

Down by d units: y = f(x) - d

Stretching:

Vertical stretch by a factor k: y = k \times f(x)

Horizontal stretch by a factor k: y = f\left(\dfrac{x}{k}\right)

As we know to shift a function towards the left horizontally, we need to add the number of units to the value of x. Therefore, the function of g(x) will be written as,

g(x) = log₂(x+5)

Hence, the correct option is 2. The value will be g(x) = log₂(x+5).
