Answer

(a) $ h(x)=f(x)-2 . $ (b) $ g(x)=f(x+1) $ (c) $ i(x)=f(x+1)-2 $

Work Step by Step

(a) Notice that the value of $h(x)$ at every value of $x$ is 2 less than the value of $f(x)$ at the same $x$ value. Thus $$ h(x)=f(x)-2 . $$ (b) We see that $g(0)=f(1), g(1)=f(2)$, and so on. In general, $$ g(x)=f(x+1) $$ (c) The values of $i(x)$ are two less than the values of $g(x)$ at the same $x$ value. Thus $$ i(x)=f(x+1)-2 $$
