Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−10(x−5)2−1 into the graph of g(x)=−10(x−5)2−10?Choices:(A) translation 9 units up(B) translation 9 units right(C) translation 9 units left(D) translation 9 units down
Compare Functions: Compare the two functions f(x) and g(x).f(x)=−10(x−5)2−1g(x)=−10(x−5)2−10Notice that the only difference is the constant term at the end.
Determine Change: Determine the change in the constant term.The constant term in f(x) is −1 and in g(x) it is −10.Calculate the difference: −10−(−1)=−10+1=−9.
Identify Shift Direction: Identify the direction of the shift. Since the constant term decreased by 9, the graph shifts down by 9 units.
Match Transformation: Match the transformation with the given choices.The graph shifts 9 units down, so the correct choice is (D) translation 9 units down.
