Chapter 1.1, Problem 36E

To determine

To identify: The error in describing the transformations of the parent function and then to correct it.

Answer to Problem 36E

The function is $f(x)=\left|x-3\right|$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Transformed parent absolute value function is given.

The given graph is a translation 3 units right w.r.t. the parent function, so the function should be $f(x)=\left|x-3\right|$ instead of $f(x)=\left|x+3\right|$ .

Thus, the function is $f(x)=\left|x-3\right|$ .
