Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the given function
The given function is \( f(x) = |x| \).
Step 2: Analyze the transformation
The graph of \( g(x) \) is a vertical shift of the graph of \( f(x) \). The graph of \( g(x) \) is shifted downward by 4 units compared to \( f(x) \).
Step 3: Determine the equation of \( g(x) \)
Since \( g(x) \) is a vertical shift of \( f(x) \) downward by 4 units, the equation of \( g(x) \) is \( g(x) = |x| - 4 \).
