Pre-calc random answers will be reported. use this to find the answer : f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |x| + 3 the transformation applied to get the graph of g(x) from the graph of f(x) is : a) a vertical transformation of 3 units upward b) a vertical transformation of 3 units downward c) a horizontal transformation of 3 units to the left d) a horizontal transformation of 3 units to the right

Choice "A) A vertical transformation of 3 units upward" is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given functions are f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |x| + 3

Now question is asking about what transformation is applied to get g(x) from f(x).

To find that transformation, compare both functions f(x) = |x| and g(x) = |x| +3.

We see that only difference is of +3.

Remember that when any number say "k" is added to f(x) then f(x)+k results in vertical transformation of "k" units upward.

So  "A) A vertical transformation of 3 units upward" will be correct choice.
