Write the equation of a function whose parent function, f(x) = x + 8, is shifted 2 units to the right.

g(x) = x − 6
g(x) = x − 2
g(x) = x + 2
g(x) = x + 6

Answer:

[tex]g(x)=x+6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

[tex]f(x)=x+8[/tex]

If f(x) is shifted 2 units to the right

then

The rule of the translation is

[tex]g(x)=f(x-2)[/tex]

so

[tex]g(x)=(x-2)+8[/tex]

[tex]g(x)=x+6[/tex]

Answer:  The correct option is

(D) [tex]g(x)=x+6.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that the following function is shifted 2 units to the right :

[tex]f(x)=x+8~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)[/tex]

We are to write the equation when the function (i) is shifted 2 units to the right.

We know that

if a function is shifted 2 units to the right, then its x co-ordinate is reduced by 2 units.

Therefore, the equation of the new function is given by

[tex]g(x)=f(x-2)=(x-2)+8=x+6.[/tex]

Thus, the required function is [tex]g(x)=x+6.[/tex]

Option (D) is CORRECT.
