What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−7(x−9)2 into the graph of g(x)=−7(x−9)2−5?Choices:(A) translation 5 units up(B) translation 5 units right(C) translation 5 units down(D) translation 5 units left
Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−7(x−9)2 into the graph of g(x)=−7(x−9)2−5?Choices:(A) translation 5 units up(B) translation 5 units right(C) translation 5 units down(D) translation 5 units left
Identify Functions: Identify the original function and the transformed function.Original function: f(x)=−7(x−9)2Transformed function: g(x)=−7(x−9)2−5
Determine Transformation Type: Compare the two functions to determine the type of transformation.The only difference between f(x) and g(x) is the “−5” at the end of g(x). This indicates a vertical shift.
Vertical Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the vertical shift. Since the transformation involves subtracting 5 from the original function, the graph of f(x) is shifted downward by 5 units.
Match Transformation to Choices: Match the transformation to the given choices.The graph of f(x) is shifted downward by 5 units, which corresponds to a translation 5 units down.
