Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=9(x−6)2 into the graph of g(x)=9(x−3)2?Choices:(A) translation 3 units right(B) translation 3 units left(C) translation 3 units down(D) translation 3 units up
Find Vertex of f(x): Find the vertex of f(x).f(x)=9(x−6)2 has a vertex at (6,0).
Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of g(x).g(x)=9(x−3)2 has a vertex at (3,0).
Compare Vertices of f(x) and g(x): Compare the vertices of f(x) and g(x). Vertex of f(x) is (6,0) and vertex of g(x) is (3,0).
Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift. The x-coordinate of the vertex of g(x) is 3 units less than the x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x), indicating a shift to the left.
Calculate Shift Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the shift. The difference in x-coordinates is 6−3=3 units.
