Question 922529: if g(x) is a transformation of f(x), find the vertex of the g(x) and describe the transformation.
f(x)=|x|
g(x)=|x+3|-5

This is always true:
To shift a function , add inside the function's argument: gives shifted units to the .
Shifting to the right works the same way; is shifted units to the .
if you have , means that is shifted units
if you have , means that shifted units
you are given:

=> => shifted units to the
and =>means that shifted units
