Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=7x8+8f(x) = 7|x - 8| + 8 into the graph of g(x)=7x7+8g(x) = 7|x - 7| + 8?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 11 unit down\newline(B) translation 11 unit left\newline(C) translation 11 unit up\newline(D) translation 11 unit right
  1. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the absolute value function f(x)f(x). The vertex of f(x)=7x8+8f(x) = 7|x - 8| + 8 is at (8,8)(8, 8).
  2. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the absolute value function g(x)g(x). The vertex of g(x)=7x7+8g(x) = 7|x - 7| + 8 is at (7,8)(7, 8).
  3. Determine Transformation Type: Determine the type of transformation.\newlineThe yy-coordinates of the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) are the same, so there is no vertical shift. The xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 11 unit less than the xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x), indicating a horizontal shift.
  4. Determine Horizontal Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the horizontal shift. The vertex of g(x)g(x) is at (7,8)(7, 8), which is 11 unit to the left of the vertex of f(x)f(x) at (8,8)(8, 8). Therefore, the graph of f(x)f(x) has been shifted 11 unit to the left to obtain the graph of g(x)g(x).
