Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−9∣x+7∣+8 into the graph of g(x)=−9∣x+7∣?Choices:(A) translation 8 units down(B) translation 8 units up(C) translation 8 units left(D) translation 8 units right
Analyze Functions: Analyze the given functions f(x)=−9∣x+7∣+8 and g(x)=−9∣x+7∣. Identify the difference between the two functions. The only difference is the constant term +8 in f(x) which is not present in g(x).
Identify Difference: Determine the type of transformation.The removal of +8 from f(x) to get g(x) indicates a vertical shift.
Type of Transformation: Determine the direction of the vertical shift.Since +8 is removed, the graph moves down by 8 units.
Direction of Shift: Match the transformation with the given choices.The graph of f(x) is shifted 8 units down to get the graph of g(x).This matches choice (A) translation 8 units down.
