Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=6(x+8)2+5 into the graph of g(x)=6(x+8)2+9?Choices:(A) translation 4 units left(B) translation 4 units down(C) translation 4 units right(D) translation 4 units up
Find Vertex of f(x): Find the vertex of f(x) by comparing f(x)=6(x+8)2+5 with the vertex form.Vertex of f(x): (−8,5)
Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of g(x) by comparing g(x)=6(x+8)2+9 with the vertex form.Vertex of g(x): (−8,9)
Compare Vertex Y-Values: Compare the y-values of the vertices of f(x) and g(x).Vertex of f(x): (−8,5)Vertex of g(x): (−8,9)The y-value increased by 4.
Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift based on the change in y-values.Since the y-value increased, the graph shifted up.
Calculate Shift Amount: Calculate the amount of the shift.The y-value went from 5 to 9, which is an increase of 4 units.
