Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−7∣x+5∣−8 into the graph of g(x)=−7∣x+5∣−10?Choices:(A) translation 2 units up(B) translation 2 units right(C) translation 2 units left(D) translation 2 units down
Analyze Functions: Analyze the given functions.We have f(x)=−7∣x+5∣−8 and g(x)=−7∣x+5∣−10. Compare the two functions to determine the type of transformation.
Identify Difference: 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 −8, and g(x) has −10.
Determine Transformation: Determine the direction of the transformation.Since the change is in the constant term, and it is a decrease from −8 to −10, this indicates a vertical shift.
Calculate Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the transformation.The change from −8 to −10 is a decrease of 2 units. This means the graph has moved down by 2 units.
Conclude Transformation: Conclude the type of transformation.The graph of f(x) has been translated 2 units down to become the graph of g(x).
