Practice and Problem-Solving Exercises

A Practice

Determine the value of h in each translation. Describe each phase shift (use a phrase like 3 units to the left). See Problem 1.

  1. g open x close equals f open x plus 1 close
  2. g open t close equals f open t plus 2 close
  3. f open z close equals g open z minus 1 . 6 close
  4. f open x close equals g open x minus 3 close
  5. y equals sine open x plus pi close
  6. y equals cosine . open . x minus , fraction 5 pi , over 7 end fraction . close

Use the function f open x close  below. Graph each translation. See Problem 2.

A periodic graph. One cycle extends right from (0, 2) to (1, 2), falls to (2, negative 2), extends right to (3, negative 2), and rises to (4, 2). All values approximate.

  1. g open x close equals f open x close plus 1
  2. g open x close equals f open x close minus 3
  3. g open x close equals f open x plus 2 close
  4. g open x close equals f open x minus 1 close

Graph each translation of y equals cosine x  in the interval from 0 to 2π.

  1. y equals cosine open x plus 3 close
  2. y equals cosine x plus 3
  3. y equals cosine x minus 4
  4. y equals cosine open x minus 4 close
  5. y equals cosine x plus pi
  6. y equals cosine open x minus pi close

Describe any phase shift and vertical shift in the graph. See Problem 3.

  1. y equals 3 sine x plus 1
  2. y equals 4 cosine open x plus 1 close minus 2
  3. y equals sine . open . x plus , pi over 2 . close . plus 2
  4. y equals sine open x minus 3 close plus 2
