Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−5(x+10)2 into the graph of g(x)=−5(x+1)2?Choices:(A) translation 9 units left(B) translation 9 units right(C) translation 9 units up(D) translation 9 units down
Find Vertex of f(x): Find the vertex of f(x).f(x)=−5(x+10)2 has a vertex at (−10,0).
Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of g(x).g(x)=−5(x+1)2 has a vertex at (−1,0).
Compare X-Values: Compare the x-values of the vertices to determine the direction of the shift. The x-value of the vertex of f(x) is −10 and the x-value of the vertex of g(x) is −1.
Calculate Horizontal Shift: Calculate the horizontal shift from the vertex of f(x) to the vertex of g(x).−1−(−10)=9 The graph shifts 9 units to the right.
