Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=5∣x−1∣ into the graph of g(x)=5∣x−1∣−10?Choices:(A) translation 10 units up(B) translation 10 units down(C) translation 10 units left(D) translation 10 units right
Identify Function: Identify the basic function and its transformation.The basic function here is f(x)=5∣x−1∣. The transformation applied to f(x) to obtain g(x) is a vertical shift, as indicated by the −10 added to the function.
Direction of Shift: Determine the direction of the vertical shift.Since −10 is subtracted from the basic function, this indicates a downward shift of the graph.
Magnitude of Shift: Determine the magnitude of the vertical shift. The magnitude of the shift is the absolute value of the number subtracted from the basic function, which is 10 units.
Conclusion: Conclude the type of transformation.The transformation is a translation 10 units down, which matches choice (B).
