     The figure below shows the graph of f, g, h and p. Suppose f(x) = z^2 (black graph).  Define the function g using the function f.  g(x) = f(x + 4)  Define the function h using the function f.  h(x) = f(x - 4)/2 +7  Define the function p using the function f.  p(z) = f(x - 4)/4 +7  Whit is the function rule for p?  p(z) = ________   
  
  Solution
let f(x)=x2 then
(a).
since the original graph is shifted 4 units right, so
g(x)= (x-4)2
Hence g(x)=f(x-4)
(b)
Then to get the graph of h(x), first we shift f(x) 4 units right and then 7 units up. to get
h(x)= (x-4)2 +7
Hence h(x)=f(x-4)+7
(c)
Again then to find the value of p(x), we stretch the graph in y direction with a scaling factor of 3. Hence
p(x)=3 (x-4)2 +7
Hence p(x)=3f(x-4)+7
(d)
the funcion p(x) obtained by shifting the original curve f(x)=x2 to 4 units right side and then shift 7 units upward and then stretch in y direction by a factor 3. Hence
p(x)=3 (x-4)2 +7.
