    Study Notes

    Transformation of the Parent Function

    • The parent function for absolute value is ( f(x) = |x| ).
    • The transformation applied to this parent function to obtain ( g(x) = |x - 5| ) is a horizontal shift to the right by 5 units.

    Parent Function

    • The parent function of ( g(x) = |x - 5| ) is ( f(x) = |x| ).

    Minimum Value

    • The function ( g(x) = |x - 5| ) achieves its minimum value at ( x = 5 ).
    • At this point, the minimum value of ( g(x) ) is ( 0 ) since ( g(5) = |5 - 5| = 0 ).

    Graph Representation

    • To identify the best graphical representation of ( g(x) = |x - 5| ), look for a V-shaped graph that opens upwards and has its vertex at the point (5, 0).

    Comparison with Another Function

    • For ( h(x) = |x + 3| ), the graph is transformed by shifting the parent function ( f(x) = |x| ) to the left by 3 units.
    • Comparing ( g(x) = |x - 5| ) to ( h(x) = |x + 3| ), the key difference lies in their vertex positions: ( g(x) ) has its vertex at (5, 0), while ( h(x) ) has its vertex at (-3, 0).
