Question 4 • DHS Algebra 2 V
A horizontal shift to the left occurs when x is replaced by x + a, where a is positive. In h(x), ln(x + 3) shifts the parent function left 3 units; in r(x), ln(x + 1) shifts it left 1 unit; and in p(x), ln(x + 2) shifts it left 2 units. The coefficients and added constants cause other transformations but do not change those horizontal shifts. So the correct choices are h(x), r(x), and p(x).
