Transcript text: Use transformations of the absolute value function, $f(x)=|x|$, to graph the function $h(x)=|x-2|-7$.
What transformations are needed in order to obtain the graph of $h(x)$ from the graph of $f(x)$ ? Select all that apply.
A. Horizontal stretch/shrink
B. Vertical shift
C. Reflection about the $y$-axis
D. Reflection about the $x$-axis
E. Horizontal shift
F. Vertical stretch/shrink
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the base function
The base function given is \( f(x) = |x| \).
Step 2: Analyze the given function
The function to graph is \( h(x) = |x - 2| - 7 \).
Step 3: Determine the transformations
The term \( |x - 2| \) indicates a horizontal shift to the right by 2 units.
The term \( -7 \) indicates a vertical shift downward by 7 units.
