Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=5(x+2)2 into the graph of g(x)=5(x+2)2+10?Choices:(A) translation 10 units down(B) translation 10 units up(C) translation 10 units right(D) translation 10 units left
Compare functions: Compare f(x) and g(x) to see the difference.f(x)=5(x+2)2g(x)=5(x+2)2+10The only difference is the +10 on g(x).
Determine transformation type: Determine the type of transformation.The "+10" is outside the squared term, so it's a vertical shift.
Figure out shift direction: Figure out the direction of the shift.Since it's +10, the graph moves up.
Calculate shift amount: Calculate the amount of the shift.The graph moves 10 units up.
