Given the function, ƒ(x) = 1/(x+1) - 5, choose the correct transformation.

a. left 1, down 5

b. left 1, up 5

c. right 1, down 5

d. right 1, up 5

Option A left 1, and down 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function is g(x) =

When transformed becomes f(x) =  

Transformations done are

(1) g(x) =   shifted 1 unit left on x axis then function becomes g'(x) =  

(2) Then g'(x) shifted 5 units down on y-axis then g'(x) becomes f(x) =  

Option A left 1, and down 5 is the answer.

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
