Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=4∣x−7∣+6 into the graph of g(x)=4∣x−9∣+6?Choices:(A) translation 2 units up(B) translation 2 units left(C) translation 2 units right(D) translation 2 units down
Find Vertex of f(x): Find the vertex of the given function f(x).f(x)=4∣x−7∣+6 has a vertex at x=7, since that's where the absolute value expression equals zero.
Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of the transformed function g(x).g(x)=4∣x−9∣+6 has a vertex at x=9, for the same reason as above.
Compare Vertex Coordinates: Compare the x-coordinates of the vertices of f(x) and g(x). Vertex of f(x) is at x=7 and vertex of g(x) is at x=9.
Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift from the vertex of f(x) to the vertex of g(x). Since the x-coordinate increased from 7 to 9, the graph shifted to the right.
Calculate Shift Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the shift.The difference in x-coordinates is 9−7=2.The graph of f(x) shifts 2 units to the right.
