QuestionMove the graph of the function to the left 5 units and provide the new equation.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The original function is .
2. We need to move the graph of this function to the left by 5 units.
3. The transformation involves a horizontal shift.
STEP 2
1. Understand the effect of horizontal shifts on function graphs.
2. Apply the horizontal shift to the original function.
3. Write the new equation of the transformed function.
STEP 3
Understand the effect of horizontal shifts on function graphs.
A horizontal shift to the left by units is represented by replacing with in the function.
STEP 4
Apply the horizontal shift to the original function.
Since we want to move the graph 5 units to the left, we replace with in the original function.
STEP 5
Write the new equation of the transformed function.
The new function after shifting 5 units to the left is:
