Write the equation for the graphed function. Absolute value graph shifted left 3 units.

A. f(x) = |x| – 3
B. f(x) = |x + 3|
C. f(x) = |x| + 3
D. f(x) = |x – 3|

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

When functions are transformed there are a few simple rules:

• Adding/subtracting inside the parenthesis to the input shifts the function left(+) and right(-).

• Adding/subtracting outside the parenthesis to the output shifts the function up(+) and down(-).

• Multiplying the function by a number less than 1 compresses it towards the x-axis.

• Multiplying the function by a number greater than 1 stretches it away from the x-axis.

The parent function is f(f) = |x|. Since it needs to be shifted to the left, use the first rule above which is to subtract from the input inside the absolute value.

f(x) = |x-3|
