Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=4∣x−5∣+9 into the graph of g(x)=4∣x−6∣+9?Choices:(A) translation 1 unit up(B) translation 1 unit down(C) translation 1 unit right(D) translation 1 unit left
Analyze Functions: Analyze the given functions f(x)=4∣x−5∣+9 and g(x)=4∣x−6∣+9 to determine the type of transformation.The functions are in the form of y=a∣x−h∣+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the graph of the function.For f(x), the vertex is at (5,9).For g(x), the vertex is at (6,9).
Compare Vertices: Compare the vertices of f(x) and g(x) to determine the direction of the transformation.The vertex of f(x) is (5,9) and the vertex of g(x) is (6,9).The y-coordinate has not changed, so there is no vertical translation.The x-coordinate has increased from 5 to 6, indicating a horizontal translation to the right.
Calculate Translation Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the horizontal translation.The change in the x-coordinate from the vertex of f(x) to the vertex of g(x) is 6−5=1.This means the graph of f(x) has been translated 1 unit to the right to obtain the graph of g(x).
