Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−5∣x−10∣−5 into the graph of g(x)=−5∣x−10∣+5?Choices:(A) translation 10 units left(B) translation 10 units up(C) translation 10 units right(D) translation 10 units down
Identify Change: Identify the change between f(x) and g(x).f(x)=−5∣x−10∣−5g(x)=−5∣x−10∣+5The only change is in the constant term at the end of the equation.
Direction of Shift: Determine the direction of the shift.The constant term in f(x) is −5, and in g(x) it is +5.This indicates a vertical shift, not horizontal.
Magnitude Calculation: Calculate the magnitude of the shift.The change in the constant term is from −5 to +5, which is a change of 10 units.
Shift Direction: Determine if the shift is upwards or downwards.Since the constant term increased from −5 to +5, the graph shifts upwards.
Match Transformation: Match the transformation with the given choices.The graph shifts 10 units up, which corresponds to choice (B).
