Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=9(x+4)2 into the graph of g(x)=9(x+4)2+10?Choices:(A) translation 10 units right(B) translation 10 units up(C) translation 10 units left(D) translation 10 units down
Analyze Functions: Analyze the given functions.We have f(x)=9(x+4)2 and g(x)=9(x+4)2+10. Notice that the only difference between f(x) and g(x) is the +10 at the end of g(x).
Type of Transformation: Determine the type of transformation.The "+10" added to the function g(x) indicates a vertical shift of the graph of f(x).
Direction of Transformation: Determine the direction of the transformation.Since we are adding 10 to the entire function, this means the graph is shifting upwards.
Magnitude of Shift: Determine the magnitude of the transformation. The graph of f(x) is shifted upwards by 10 units to become the graph of g(x).
