Consider the function f(x) = 3x + 1 and the graph of the function g(x) shown below.The graph g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated units , and g(x) = .

To determine the translation of the function $f(x) = 3x + 1$ that results in the function $g(x)$, we need to identify the typically understood translations involved with function transformations.

Step 1: Understand the Function Transformations

Functions can be translated horizontally and vertically. Here’s a brief overview of how that works:

• Vertical Translation: Adding or subtracting a constant to the function. If $f(x)$ is translated upwards by $k$ units, then $g(x) = f(x) + k$. If translated downwards, $g(x) = f(x) - k$.
• Horizontal Translation: Adding or subtracting a constant inside the function. If $f(x)$ is translated to the right by $h$ units, then $g(x) = f(x - h)$. If translated to the left, $g(x) = f(x + h)$.

Step 2: Analyze the Functions

Given:

• $f(x) = 3x + 1$

We need to find:

• The translation units for $g(x)$.

Step 3: Identify the Translation

Without the specific graph of $g(x)$, I cannot provide the exact translation. However, you typically look for shifts either horizontally left or right or vertically up or down compared to $f(x)$.

Step 4: General Form of g(x)

If we denote the vertical shift $k$ and horizontal shift $h$, the function $g(x)$ could generally be represented as:

• Horizontal shift: $g(x) = 3(x - h) + 1$ (translate right by $h$).
• Vertical shift: $g(x) = 3x + 1 + k$ (translate vertical by $k$).

Final Answer

To obtain $g(x)$, you need to know the specific shifts $h$ and $k$. The equation can be expressed as: $g(x) = 3(x - h) + (1 + k)$ In this equation, replace $h$ and $k$ with their respective values based on the graph of $g(x)$.
