Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=7(x+3)2+9f(x) = 7(x + 3)^2 + 9 into the graph of g(x)=7(x4)2+9g(x) = 7(x - 4)^2 + 9?\newline(A) translation 77 units right\newline(B) translation 77 units left\newline(C) translation 77 units up\newline(D) translation 77 units down
  1. Find Vertex: f(x)=7(x+3)2+9f(x) = 7(x + 3)^2 + 9\newlineFind the vertex of the given function.\newlineCompare f(x)=7(x+3)2+9f(x) = 7(x + 3)^2 + 9 with the vertex form.\newlineVertex of f(x)f(x): (3,9)(-3, 9)
  2. Compare Functions: g(x)=7(x4)2+9g(x) = 7(x - 4)^2 + 9\newlineFind the vertex of the transformed function.\newlineCompare g(x)=7(x4)2+9g(x) = 7(x - 4)^2 + 9 with the vertex form.\newlineVertex of g(x)g(x): (4,9)(4, 9)
  3. Horizontal or Vertical?: We found:\newlineVertex of f(x)=(3,9)f(x) = (-3, 9)\newlineVertex of g(x)=(4,9)g(x) = (4, 9)\newlineIs the transformation horizontal or vertical?\newlineSince the yy-values of the vertices are the same and the xx-values change, the transformation is horizontal.
  4. Left or Right Shift?: We have:\newlineVertex of f(x)=(3,9)f(x) = (-3, 9)\newlineVertex of g(x)=(4,9)g(x) = (4, 9)\newlineDid f(x)f(x) shift to the left or right to become g(x)g(x)?\newlineThe xx-coordinates of the vertices are 3-3 and 44 respectively.\newlineOn a number line, 44 lies to the right of 3-3.\newlinef(x)f(x) shifts towards the right.
  5. Identify Transformation: We found that f(x)f(x) shifts towards the right.\newlineIdentify the transformation from (3,9)(-3, 9) to (4,9)(4, 9).\newline34|-3 - 4|\newline=7=|-7|\newline=7=7\newlineThe graph of f(x)f(x) shifts 77 units to the right.
