Which is the graph of ?

Enter the letter of the graph of
Which is the graph of ?
Enter the letter of the graph of
Solution
Since the graph of is produced by taking the graph of and compressing it horizontally by a factor of then shifting it units to the left. The correct graph is
In particular, to produce the graph of we do not compress it horizontally by a factor of then shift it 1 unit to the left; the function produced by this transformation would be
In particular, to produce the graph of we do not compress it horizontally by a factor of then shift it 1 unit to the left; the function produced by this transformation would be
Final answer
\text{A}
