Q. Find g(x), where g(x) is the translation 9 units down of f(x)=10x+8.Choices:(A) g(x)=10x−82(B) g(x)=10x+98(C) g(x)=10x−1(D) g(x)=10x+17
Understand transformation rule: Understand the transformation rule for translating a function vertically.To translate a function k units down, we subtract k from the original function f(x).Transformation rule: g(x)=f(x)−k
Apply rule to given function: Apply the transformation rule to translate f(x)=10x+8, 9 units down.We know that k=9 for this problem, so we substitute 9 for k in the transformation rule.g(x)=f(x)−9
Substitute function into rule: Substitute the given function f(x) into the transformation rule to find g(x). We have f(x)=10x+8, so we substitute this into g(x)=f(x)−9. g(x)=(10x+8)−9
Simplify expression for g: Simplify the expression for g(x) by combining like terms.g(x)=10x+8−9g(x)=10x−1
