Analyze graph transformations caused by f(x)+k, kf(x), f(kx), and f(x+k); identify even/odd functions.

Find and correct a transformation notation error

Problem

The intended transformation shifts \(f\) right \(3~\text{units}\), but the proposed rule is \(g(x)~=~f(x~+~3)\). Determine the proposed effect, diagnose the error, and write the corrected rule.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

Before correcting the proposal, determine what it actually does. An input change moves features horizontally, and solving when the altered input equals an original landmark exposes the true direction without relying on a memorized slogan. Comparing that movement with the stated intention will isolate the notation error and indicate the needed repair.
