Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−7(x−10)2+1 into the graph of g(x)=−7(x−10)2−8?Choices:(A) translation 9 units left(B) translation 9 units down(C) translation 9 units right(D) translation 9 units up
Find Vertex:f(x)=−7(x−10)2+1Find the vertex of the given function.Compare f(x)=−7(x−10)2+1 with the vertex form.Vertex of f(x): (10,1)
Compare with Vertex Form:g(x)=−7(x−10)2−8Find the vertex of the transformed function.Compare g(x)=−7(x−10)2−8 with the vertex form.Vertex of g(x): (10,−8)
Vertical Transformation: We found:Vertex of f(x)=(10,1)Vertex of g(x)=(10,−8)Is the transformation horizontal or vertical?Since the x-values are the same and the y-values changed, the transformation is vertical.
Shift Direction: We have:Vertex of f(x)=(10,1)Vertex of g(x)=(10,−8)Did f(x) shift up or down to become g(x)?The y-coordinates of the vertices are 1 and −8 respectively.On a number line, −8 lies below 1.f(x) shifts downwards.
Identify Shift Amount: We found that f(x) shifts downwards.Identify the transformation from (10,1) to (10,−8).∣1−(−8)∣=∣1+8∣=∣9∣=9The graph of f(x) shifts 9 units down.
