Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=10(x−5)2+10 into the graph of g(x)=10(x−5)2?Choices:(A) translation 10 units down(B) translation 10 units left(C) translation 10 units right(D) translation 10 units up
Analyze Functions: Analyze the given functions to determine the type of transformation. We have f(x)=10(x−5)2+10 and g(x)=10(x−5)2. The only difference between f(x) and g(x) is the constant term at the end of the equation. This indicates a vertical shift.
Vertical Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the vertical shift.Since f(x) has a +10 at the end and g(x) does not, this means that g(x) is f(x) shifted downwards by 10 units.
Horizontal Shift Check: Confirm that the shift is not horizontal.There is no change in the (x−5)2 part of the function, which means there is no horizontal shift. The transformation is purely vertical.
Conclusion: Conclude the type of transformation.The graph of f(x) has been shifted down by 10 units to obtain the graph of g(x). Therefore, the correct transformation is a translation 10 units down.
