How about you have a go, show us what your work, then explain why you're sure the book's answers are wrong?

Don't you just add the vector numbers on to x, y coordinates.?

No.

For no. 3 for example, the translation vector is [2,0] which means y=f(x)y=f(x2)y=f(x) \mapsto y=f(x-2)

Plugging x=3x=3 then gives y=f(1)=1y=f(1)=1

OK getting there correct answers now

Using the formula y - s = f(x - t) [t/s]

Is there a YouTube video with this type of question am home studying

A bunch of them, but here's one I randomly plucked out:

That means 3x gets mapped onto 3(xb)3(x-b) since x(xb)x \mapsto (x-b) from that translation.

Now since 3x3=3(xb)3x-3=3(x-b), you can easily find b if it's not obvious from inspection.
