Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−5(x−9)2+1 into the graph of g(x)=−5(x−9)2+3?Choices:(A) translation 2 units right(B) translation 2 units up(C) translation 2 units left(D) translation 2 units down
Compare Vertices: Compare the y-values of the vertices of f(x) and g(x). f(x) has a vertex at (9,1) since it's in the form −5(x−h)2+k. g(x) has a vertex at (9,3) since it's in the form −5(x−h)2+k.
Determine Change: Determine the change in the y-values of the vertices.The y-value of the vertex of g(x) is 2 units higher than the y-value of the vertex of f(x).1+2=3.
Identify Transformation: Identify the type of transformation based on the change in y-values.Since the y-value increased by 2, the graph of f(x) is translated 2 units up to become g(x).
Match Transformation: Match the transformation to the given choices.The graph of f(x) is translated 2 units up, which corresponds to choice (B).
