What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=8(x−3)2−8 into the graph of g(x)=8(x−3)2−3?Choices:(A) translation 5 units up(B) translation 5 units down(C) translation 5 units right(D) translation 5 units left
Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=8(x−3)2−8 into the graph of g(x)=8(x−3)2−3?Choices:(A) translation 5 units up(B) translation 5 units down(C) translation 5 units right(D) translation 5 units left
Compare Vertices: Compare the y-values of the vertices of f(x) and g(x).f(x) has a vertex at (3,−8) since it's in the form 8(x−h)2+k.g(x) has a vertex at (3,−3) for the same reason.
Determine Change: Determine the change in the y-values of the vertices.The y-value of the vertex of g(x) is 5 units higher than the y-value of the vertex of f(x).−3−(−8)=5
Identify Transformation: Identify the transformation based on the change in y-values.Since the y-value increased by 5, the graph moved up by 5 units.
