We are given a parent function f(x)= x and asked the transformation process that takes it to g(x)=3x-1
PART 1
If g(x) = 3f (x): For any given input, the output g(x) is three times the output of f(x), so the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of 3. If g(x) = f (3x): For any given output, the input of g is one-third the input of f(x), so the graph is shrunk horizontally by a factor of 3.
In this case, we can state that the function was first stretched by 3.
PART 2
To move a function up, you add outside the function: f (x) + b is f (x) moved up b units. Moving the function down works the same way; f (x) – b is f (x) moved down b units.
We can also say that the function was shifted downwards by 1
ANSWER: OPTION C AND D
