The graph of function  $$f$$   is shown.

Find   $$f\left(1\right).$$  

Multiple Choice

Which function is shown in the graph?

• $$y=x^3$$  

• $$y=x^2$$  

• $$y=\frac{1}{x}$$  

• $$y=\sqrt[]{x}$$  

Multiple Choice

The graph of $$f$$   (in blue) is translated horizontally and vertically to obtain the graph of $$h$$   (in red). The function $$f$$   is defined by $$f\left(x\right)=\left|x\right|$$   .

Write down the expression for $$h\left(x\right)$$   .

• $$h\left(x\right)=\left|x-2\right|+3$$  

• $$h\left(x\right)=\left|x-2\right|-3$$  

• $$h\left(x\right)=\left|x+2\right|-3$$  

• $$h\left(x\right)=\left|x+2\right|+3$$
