Full solution

Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=7x4+5f(x)=7|x-4|+5 into the graph of g(x)=7x2+3g(x)=7|x-2|+3?
  1. Identify Changes: Identify the changes in the absolute value expression and the constant term. f(x)=7x4+5f(x) = 7|x - 4| + 5 changes to g(x)=7x2+3g(x) = 7|x - 2| + 3. The absolute value expression changes from x4|x - 4| to x2|x - 2|, indicating a horizontal shift. The constant term changes from +5+5 to +3+3, indicating a vertical shift.
  2. Determine Shift: Determine the horizontal shift.\newlineThe shift from x4|x - 4| to x2|x - 2| suggests a shift to the right by 22 units.\newlineTo confirm, consider a test point. If x=4x = 4 in f(x)f(x), then x=42=2x = 4 - 2 = 2 should be used in g(x)g(x) for the same yy-value.\newlineCheck: f(4)=744+5=5f(4) = 7|4 - 4| + 5 = 5 and g(2)=722+3=3g(2) = 7|2 - 2| + 3 = 3.
