If you are given the graph of h(x) = log. x, how could you graph m(x) = log2(x+3)?
O Translate each point of the graph of h(x) 3 units up.
O Translate each point of the graph of h(x) 3 units down.
O Translate each point of the graph of h(x) 3 units right.
O Translate each point of the graph of h(x) 3 units left.

Answer:

Option (d).

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The base of log is missing in h(x).

Consider the given functions are

[tex]h(x)=\log_2x[/tex]

[tex]m(x)=\log_2(x+3)[/tex]

The function m(x) can be written as

[tex]m(x)=h(x+3)[/tex]           ...(1)

The translation is defined as

[tex]m(x)=h(x+a)+b[/tex]           .... (2)

Where, a is horizontal shift and b is vertical shift.

If a>0, then the graph shifts a units left and if a<0, then the graph shifts a units right.

If b>0, then the graph shifts b units up and if b<0, then the graph shifts b units down.

On comparing (1) and (2), we get

[tex]a=3,b=0[/tex]

Therefore, we have to translate each point of the graph of h(x) 3 units left to get the graph of m(x).

Hence, option (d) is correct.
