Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=9∣x+6∣−9 into the graph of g(x)=9∣x+6∣+1?Choices:(A) translation 10 units right(B) translation 10 units up(C) translation 10 units down(D) translation 10 units left
Analyze Functions: Analyze the given functions.We have f(x)=9∣x+6∣−9 and g(x)=9∣x+6∣+1.Compare the two functions to determine the type of transformation.
Identify Difference: Identify the change in the functions.The only difference between f(x) and g(x) is the constant term at the end of the equation.f(x) has −9, and g(x) has +1.
Direction of Transformation: Determine the direction of the transformation. Since the change is in the constant term, this indicates a vertical shift.
Calculate Shift Amount: Calculate the amount of vertical shift.The change from −9 to +1 is an increase of 10 units.To find the shift, we calculate 1−(−9)=1+9=10.
Type of Vertical Shift: Determine the type of vertical shift.Since the constant term increased by 10, the graph of f(x) is shifted 10 units up to become g(x).
