Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−3(x+5)2+7 into the graph of g(x)=−3x2+7?Choices:(A) translation 5 units down(B) translation 5 units up(C) translation 5 units left(D) translation 5 units right
Find Vertex of f(x): Find the vertex of f(x)=−3(x+5)2+7.Vertex form is −3(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex.So, vertex of f(x) is (−5,7).
Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of g(x)=−3x2+7. This is already in vertex form −3(x−0)2+7. So, vertex of g(x) is (0,7).
Compare Vertices: Compare the vertices of f(x) and g(x).\ Vertex of f(x)=(−5,7), Vertex of g(x)=(0,7).\ The y-coordinates are the same, so it's a horizontal shift.
Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift.The x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x) is −5 and for g(x) is 0.Moving from −5 to 0 is a shift to the right.
Calculate Shift Distance: Calculate the distance of the shift.|-5 - 0| = |-5| = 5|.\(\newlineThe graph of \$f(x)\) shifts \(5\) units to the right.
