Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=9∣x−2∣−2 into the graph of g(x)=9∣x+1∣−2?Choices:(A) translation 3 units left(B) translation 3 units up(C) translation 3 units right(D) translation 3 units down
Identify Vertex of f(x): Identify the vertex of the function f(x)=9∣x−2∣−2. The vertex of the absolute value function f(x)=9∣x−h∣−k is at the point (h,k). For f(x)=9∣x−2∣−2, h=2 and k=−2. Vertex of f(x): (2,−2)
Identify Vertex of g(x): Identify the vertex of the function g(x)=9∣x+1∣−2. Similarly, for g(x)=9∣x−h∣−k, h=−1 and k=−2. Vertex of g(x): (−1,−2)
Determine Horizontal Shift: Determine the horizontal shift between the vertices of f(x) and g(x). The horizontal shift is the difference in the x-coordinates of the vertices. The vertex of f(x) is at (2,−2) and the vertex of g(x) is at (−1,−2). Horizontal shift: 2−(−1)=3 units to the left.
Determine Vertical Shift: Determine the vertical shift between the vertices of f(x) and g(x). The vertical shift is the difference in the y-coordinates of the vertices. Since both y-coordinates are −2, there is no vertical shift. Vertical shift: −2−(−2)=0 units.
