Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−∣x+9∣+7 into the graph of g(x)=−∣x+9∣+10?Choices:(A) translation 3 units up(B) translation 3 units right(C) translation 3 units left(D) translation 3 units down
Analyze functions f(x) and g(x): Analyze the given functions f(x) and g(x).f(x)=−∣x+9∣+7g(x)=−∣x+9∣+10Compare the two functions to determine the type of transformation.
Identify differences in functions: Identify the change in the functions.The only difference between f(x) and g(x) is the constant term at the end of the equation. f(x) has +7, while g(x) has +10.
Determine direction of transformation: Determine the direction of the transformation. Since the change is in the constant term, and it is an increase from +7 to +10, this indicates a vertical shift.
Calculate magnitude of transformation: Calculate the magnitude of the transformation.The change in the constant term is from +7 to +10, which is an increase of 3 units.
Conclude type of transformation: Conclude the type of transformation.The graph of f(x) is shifted vertically upwards by 3 units to obtain the graph of g(x).
