Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−6(x+3)2−3 into the graph of g(x)=−6(x+4)2−3?Choices:(A) translation 1 unit right(B) translation 1 unit down(C) translation 1 unit up(D) translation 1 unit left
Find Vertex of f(x): Find the vertex of f(x).f(x)=−6(x+3)2−3Vertex of f(x): (−3,−3)
Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of g(x).g(x) = −6(x+4)2−3Vertex of g(x): (−4,−3)
Compare Vertices: Compare the vertices of f(x) and g(x).Vertex of f(x): (−3,−3)Vertex of g(x): (−4,−3)The transformation is horizontal since the y-values are the same.
Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift.The x-coordinate of the vertex of g(x) is 1 unit less than the x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x).f(x) shifts to the left to become g(x).
Calculate Shift Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the shift.∣−3−(−4)∣=∣1∣=1The graph of f(x) shifts 1 unit to the left.
