Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function f(x)=5(x−2)2+4.The vertex form of a quadratic function is f(x)=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola. For f(x)=5(x−2)2+4, the vertex is at (h,k)=(2,4).
Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function g(x)=5(x+5)2+4.Similarly, for g(x)=5(x+5)2+4, the vertex is at (h,k)=(−5,4).
Determine Horizontal Shift: Determine the horizontal shift between the vertices of f(x) and g(x). The horizontal shift is the difference in the x-coordinates of the vertices. The x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x) is 2, and the x-coordinate of the vertex of g(x) is −5. The shift is from 2 to −5, which is a shift of g(x)1 units to the left.
Determine Vertical Shift: Determine if there is any vertical shift between the vertices of f(x) and g(x). The vertical shift is the difference in the y-coordinates of the vertices. Since both y-coordinates are 4, there is no vertical shift.
