Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=7∣x−2∣−10 into the graph of g(x)=7∣x+3∣−10?Choices:(A) translation 5 units left(B) translation 5 units up(C) translation 5 units right(D) translation 5 units down
Identify Vertex f(x): Identify the vertex of the function f(x)=7∣x−2∣−10. The vertex of the absolute value function f(x)=a∣x−h∣+k is (h,k). For f(x)=7∣x−2∣−10, h=2 and k=−10. Vertex of f(x): (2,−10)
Identify Vertex g(x): Identify the vertex of the function g(x)=7∣x+3∣−10. The vertex of the absolute value function g(x)=a∣x−h∣+k is (h,k). For g(x)=7∣x+3∣−10, we can rewrite the inside of the absolute value as x−(−3), so h=−3 and k=−10. Vertex of g(x): (−3,−10)
Determine Transformation: Determine the transformation from f(x) to g(x). The transformation involves a horizontal shift since the x-coordinates of the vertices are different while the y-coordinates remain the same. The shift is from x=2 to x=−3, which is a movement of 5 units to the left.
