Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=3∣x+4∣ into the graph of g(x)=3∣x+4∣−5?Choices:(A) translation 5 units down(B) translation 5 units up(C) translation 5 units right(D) translation 5 units left
Identify Function and Transformation: Identify the basic function and the transformation applied.The basic function is f(x)=3∣x+4∣. The transformation applied to f(x) to obtain g(x) is a vertical shift, as indicated by the −5 at the end of g(x)=3∣x+4∣−5.
Vertical Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the vertical shift.Since the transformation involves subtracting 5 from the entire function, this indicates a downward shift of the graph by 5 units.
Match Transformation to Choices: Match the transformation to the given choices.The transformation is a vertical shift downward by 5 units, which corresponds to choice (A) translation 5 units down.
