The transformation
Choose an answer
results in a horizontal shift right.
1. **State the problem:** We need to identify which transformations cause vertical and horizontal shifts in the graph of the function $f(x)=\sin(x)$.
2. **Recall the transformations:**
- A vertical shift up or down is caused by adding or subtracting a constant outside the function: $f(x) + k$ shifts the graph vertically by $k$ units.
- A horizontal shift left or right is caused by adding or subtracting a constant inside the function argument: $f(x - h)$ shifts the graph horizontally by $h$ units.
3. **Vertical shifts:**
- $f(x) + k$ shifts the graph vertically.
- If $k > 0$, the graph shifts up.
- If $k < 0$, the graph shifts down.
4. **Horizontal shifts:**
- $f(x - h)$ shifts the graph horizontally.
- If $h > 0$, the graph shifts right.
- If $h < 0$, the graph shifts left.
5. **Answering each part:**
- Vertical shift down: transformation is $f(x) - k$ where $k > 0$.
- Horizontal shift left: transformation is $f(x + h)$ where $h > 0$.
- Vertical shift up: transformation is $f(x) + k$ where $k > 0$.
- Horizontal shift right: transformation is $f(x - h)$ where $h > 0$.
**Final answers:**
- Vertical shift down: $f(x) - k$
- Horizontal shift left: $f(x + h)$
- Vertical shift up: $f(x) + k$
- Horizontal shift right: $f(x - h)$
