Shift sign $y=frac x{|x|}$ function horizontally












0














I know how to shift linear and quadratic functions but is there a way to shift a sign or $$y=frac x{|x|}$$ function?

  • One can in general shift $y=f(x)$. See for instance this note: math.utah.edu/~giessing/notes/ch3.6b.pdf and also math.berkeley.edu/~qiuyi/m1af14/EER4_Notes.pdf

  • Do you mean something different from simply replacing every $x$ in the expression by $x-c$ for some $c$ being the distance you want to shift the graph?

Hint:



To shift any function $f$ horizontally, all you need to do is to replace $x$ by $xpm c$ where c is the distance of the shift and the sign $pm$ indicates the direction of the shift.

  • Yes, you are right. After a lot of fiddling, it turned out I misplaced parentheses when graphing the absolute value.
