Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=7x+3+6f(x) = -7|x + 3| + 6 into the graph of g(x)=7x+3+1g(x) = -7|x + 3| + 1?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 55 units down\newline(B) translation 55 units right\newline(C) translation 55 units up\newline(D) translation 55 units left
  1. Identify Structure: Identify the basic structure of the functions to determine the type of transformation. f(x)=7x+3+6f(x) = -7|x + 3| + 6 and g(x)=7x+3+1g(x) = -7|x + 3| + 1 both have the same coefficient and absolute value expression, but different constants at the end.
  2. Compare Constants: Compare the constants at the end of the functions to find the vertical shift.\newlineThe constant in f(x)f(x) is 66, and the constant in g(x)g(x) is 11. The change in the constant term from f(x)f(x) to g(x)g(x) is 16=51 - 6 = -5.
  3. Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the vertical shift. Since the change in the constant term is 5-5, this indicates a shift downward by 55 units.
  4. Match Transformation: Match the transformation with the given choices.\newlineA downward shift by 55 units corresponds to choice (A) translation 55 units down.
