Let f(x) = 2x − 1. Graph (a) g(x) = f (x) + 3 and (b) t(x) = f (x + 3).
Describe the transformations from the graph of f to the graphs of g and t.
SOLUTION
a. The function g is of the form b. The function t is of the form
y = f (x) + k, where k = 3. So, the y = f(x − h), where h = −3. So, the
graph of g is a vertical translation graph of t is a horizontal translation

The cost (in dollars) of cable service for m months is represented by the function f.
Cable Service
To attract new customers, the cable company multiplies the monthly fee by a factor of
y c. Use the graph to find and interpret the value of c.

Cost (dollars)
120 To find c, compare f and g. The function g(m) = c • f (m) indicates that the graph of g
g(m) = c ∙ f(m)
is a vertical stretch or shrink of the graph of f. The graphs of f and g show that for any
80 number of months, the new cost is one-half of the original cost. For example, the cost
for two months (m = 2) decreases from $120 to $60. So, c = —12 .
40 f(m) = 60m
The factor c = —12 indicates that the monthly price is halved.
