Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=6(x+2)2+2 into the graph of g(x)=6(x+3)2+2?Choices:(A) translation 1 unit left(B) translation 1 unit right(C) translation 1 unit down(D) translation 1 unit up
Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function f(x). The function f(x)=6(x+2)2+2 is in vertex form, where the vertex is at (−2,2).
Identify Function: Identify the vertex of the function g(x). The function g(x)=6(x+3)2+2 is also in vertex form, where the vertex is at (−3,2).
Determine Transformation Type: Determine the type of transformation.The y-coordinates of the vertices of f(x) and g(x) are the same, which means 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), which indicates a horizontal shift.
Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the horizontal shift. The x-coordinate of the vertex of g(x) is −3, which is 1 unit to the left of the x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x), which is −2. Therefore, the graph of f(x) is shifted 1 unit to the left to obtain the graph of g(x).
