Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=6(x+2)2+2f(x) = 6(x + 2)^2 + 2 into the graph of g(x)=6(x+3)2+2g(x) = 6(x + 3)^2 + 2?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 11 unit left\newline(B) translation 11 unit right\newline(C) translation 11 unit down\newline(D) translation 11 unit up
  1. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function f(x)f(x). The function f(x)=6(x+2)2+2f(x) = 6(x + 2)^2 + 2 is in vertex form, where the vertex is at (2,2)(-2, 2).
  2. Identify Function: Identify the vertex of the function g(x)g(x). The function g(x)=6(x+3)2+2g(x) = 6(x + 3)^2 + 2 is also in vertex form, where the vertex is at (3,2)(-3, 2).
  3. Determine Transformation Type: Determine the type of transformation.\newlineThe yy-coordinates of the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) are the same, which means there is no vertical shift. The xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 11 unit less than the xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x), which indicates a horizontal shift.
  4. Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the horizontal shift. The xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 3-3, which is 11 unit to the left of the xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x), which is 2-2. Therefore, the graph of f(x)f(x) is shifted 11 unit to the left to obtain the graph of g(x)g(x).
