Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=10(x−4)2+9 into the graph of g(x)=10(x−3)2+9?Choices:(A) translation 1 unit down(B) translation 1 unit up(C) translation 1 unit right(D) translation 1 unit left
Identify vertex function: Identify the vertex of the function f(x). Compare f(x)=10(x−4)2+9 with the vertex form of a parabola, y=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex. Vertex of f(x): (4,9)
Compare with vertex form: Identify the vertex of the function g(x). Compare g(x)=10(x−3)2+9 with the vertex form of a parabola, y=a(x−h)2+k. Vertex of g(x): (3,9)
Identify vertex function: Determine the type of transformation.The y-coordinates of the vertices of f(x) and g(x) are the same, so there is no vertical shift.The x-coordinate of the vertex of g(x) is 1 unit less than the x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x), indicating a horizontal shift.
Compare with vertex form: Determine the direction of the horizontal shift.The x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x) is 4, and the x-coordinate of the vertex of g(x) is 3.Since 3 is to the left of 4 on the number line, the graph has shifted 1 unit to the left.
