Answer:
g(x) is shifted 4 units left and 6 units down from f(x).
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function is:
f(x).
The child function is:
[tex]g(x) = f(x+4) - 6[/tex]
Transformation 1:
[tex]g(x) = f(x+4)[/tex]
Shifting a function f(x) a units to the left is finding f(x + a). So g(x) = f(x + 4) is f(x) shifted 4 units to the left.
Transformation 2:
[tex]g(x) = f(x+4) - 6[/tex]
Subtracting a function f(x) by a constant a is the same as shifting the function a units down. So subtracting by 6 is shifting the function 6 units down. Thus, the correct answer is:
g(x) is shifted 4 units left and 6 units down from f(x).
