Find a function that represents a horizontal stretch of the graph of f(x) = |x + 5|
a. h(x) = 2/3|x + 5|
c. j(x) = 2|x + 5|
b. g(x) = |6x + 5|
d. k(x)=|0. 4x|
Find a function that represents a horizontal stretch of the graph of f(x) = |x + 5|
a. h(x) = 2/3|x + 5|
c. j(x) = 2|x + 5|
b. g(x) = |6x + 5|
d. k(x)=|0, 4x +5|
To represent a horizontal stretch of the graph of f(x) = |x + 5|, you need to multiply or divide the x-coordinate in the absolute value equation by a constant.
The correct answer is:
a. h(x) = 2/3|x + 5|
This function represents a horizontal stretch of the graph of f(x) = |x + 5| by a factor of 2/3.
