Given function in the question is,
- f(x) = |x|
- Image function after horizontal and vertical translations,
g(x) = |x + 1| - 5
Rules to remember for the translation a function,
- If the function 'f' is translated 'h' units right, the image function will be,
g(x) = |x - h|
- If the function 'f' is translated 'h' units left, the image function will be,
h(x) = |x + h|
- If a function 'f' is translated 'k' units up, the image function will be,
k(x) = |x| + k
- If a function 'f' is translated 'k' units down, image function will be,
p(x) = |x| - k
Using these rules,
Function 'f' will be translated 1 units left and and 5 units down to form the image function 'g'.
Therefore, Margo made an error to interpret that the function is translated 1 units right.
