Answer :

The function that models the horizontal shink of f(x) by a scale factor k = 3 is:

g(x) = |3*x| + 5

How to apply a horizontal shrink to the given function?

Here we want to apply a transformation to a given function where the transformation is a shrink.

For a function f(x), a horizontal shrink (or compression) of scale factor K is written as:

g(x) = f(k*x)

In this case we have the absolute value function:

f(x)= |x| + 5

And we want to apply an horizontal shrink of scale factor k = 3, so we will have a new function defined as:

g(x) = f(3*x)

If we replace f(x) by the function above we will get:

g(x) = f(3*x) = |3*x| + 5

So we conclude that the transformed function is just:

g(x) = |3*x| + 5
