Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=6∣x+9∣+5 into the graph of g(x)=6∣x+9∣+1?Choices:(A) translation 4 units down(B) translation 4 units up(C) translation 4 units left(D) translation 4 units right
Identify Change Constant Term: Identify the change in the constant term of the function.The function f(x)=6∣x+9∣+5 has a constant term of +5, while the function g(x)=6∣x+9∣+1 has a constant term of +1.
Determine Vertical Shift: Determine the vertical shift required to transform f(x) into g(x). The change in the constant term from +5 to +1 indicates a vertical shift. To find the magnitude and direction of this shift, subtract the new constant term from the original constant term: 5−1=4.
Identify Direction Vertical Shift: Identify the direction of the vertical shift.Since the constant term decreased from +5 to +1, the graph of f(x) must be shifted downward to obtain the graph of g(x).
Match Transformation Choices: Match the transformation to the given choices.A downward shift of 4 units corresponds to the choice (A) translation 4 units down.
