Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=10(x−1)2+1 into the graph of g(x)=10(x−1)2?Choices:(A) translation 1 unit up(B) translation 1 unit down(C) translation 1 unit right(D) translation 1 unit left
Compare functions: Compare f(x) and g(x) to see the difference.f(x)=10(x−1)2+1g(x)=10(x−1)2The only difference is the +1 at the end of f(x).
Determine transformation type: Determine the type of transformation.The "+1" in f(x) affects the y-value of the graph, so it's a vertical shift.
Find shift direction: Figure out the direction of the shift.Since g(x) doesn't have the "+1", the graph of f(x) has been shifted down by 1 unit to get g(x).
Identify correct choice: Identify the correct choice.The graph of f(x) is shifted down by 1 unit to become g(x).So, the transformation is a translation 1 unit down.
