Question

complete the sentence below
suppose that the graph of a function f is known. then the graph of y = f(x - 2) may be obtained by a ____ shift of the graph of f ____ a distance of 2 units
suppose that the graph of a function f is known. then the graph of y = f(x - 2) may be obtained by a dropdown shift of the graph of f dropdown a distance of 2 units.

Explanation:

For function transformations, when we have \(y = f(x - h)\) where \(h>0\), the graph of \(f(x)\) shifts horizontally to the right by \(h\) units. Here \(h=2\), so it is a horizontal shift to the right.

Answer:

horizontal; to the right
