Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=5(x2)210f(x) = -5(x - 2)^2 - 10 into the graph of g(x)=5(x4)210g(x) = -5(x - 4)^2 - 10?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 22 units up\newline(B) translation 22 units right\newline(C) translation 22 units left\newline(D) translation 22 units down
  1. Find Vertex Function: f(x)=5(x2)210f(x) = -5(x - 2)^2 - 10 \newlineFind the vertex of the given function.\newlineCompare f(x)=5(x2)210f(x) = -5(x - 2)^2 - 10 with vertex form. \newlineVertex of f(x)f(x): (2,10)(2, -10)
  2. Compare with Vertex Form: g(x)=5(x4)210g(x) = -5(x - 4)^2 - 10 \newlineFind the vertex of the transformed function.\newlineCompare g(x)=5(x4)210g(x) = -5(x - 4)^2 - 10 with vertex form.\newlineVertex of g(x)g(x): (4,10)(4, -10)
  3. Find Transformed Vertex: We found: \newlineVertex of f(x)=(2,10)f(x) = (2, -10) \newlineVertex of g(x)=(4,10)g(x) = (4, -10)\newlineIs the transformation horizontal or vertical?\newlineSince the yy-values of the vertices are the same and the xx-values have changed, the transformation is horizontal.
  4. Compare with Vertex Form: We have: \newlineVertex of f(x)f(x) = (2,10)(2, -10)\newlineVertex of g(x)g(x) = (4,10)(4, -10) \newlineDid f(x)f(x) shift to the left or right to become g(x)g(x)?\newlinex-coordinates of the vertices are 22 and 44 respectively.\newlineOn a number line, 44 lies to the right of 22.\newlinef(x)f(x) shifts towards right.
  5. Identify Transformation: We found that, f(x)f(x) shifts towards right. Identify the transformation from (2,10)(2, -10) to (4,10)(4, -10). 24=2=2|2 - 4| = |-2| = 2 The graph of f(x)f(x) shifts 22 units to the right.
