Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=5∣x+10∣−6 into the graph of g(x)=5∣x+5∣−6?Choices:(A) translation 5 units down(B) translation 5 units up(C) translation 5 units left(D) translation 5 units right
Identify Transformation: Identify the transformation affecting the absolute value expression.The absolute value function f(x)=5∣x+10∣−6 has been changed to g(x)=5∣x+5∣−6. The change is inside the absolute value from ∣x+10∣ to ∣x+5∣. This suggests a horizontal shift.
Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction and magnitude of the horizontal shift. The expression inside the absolute value has changed from (x+10) to (x+5). This indicates a shift to the left by 5 units because the value added to x has decreased by 5.
Match Transformation to Choices: Match the transformation to the given choices.The transformation is a horizontal shift to the left by 5 units. This corresponds to choice (C) translation 5 units left.
