Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−10∣x−7∣−7 into the graph of g(x)=−10∣x−7∣−8?Choices:(A) translation 1 unit left(B) translation 1 unit down(C) translation 1 unit up(D) translation 1 unit right
Analyze Functions: Analyze the given functions.We have f(x)=−10∣x−7∣−7 and g(x)=−10∣x−7∣−8. Compare the two functions to determine the type of transformation.
Identify Change: Identify the change in the functions.The only difference between f(x) and g(x) is the constant term at the end of the equation. f(x) has −7, and g(x) has −8.
Determine Transformation Direction: Determine the direction of the transformation. Since the change is in the constant term, and it is a decrease from −7 to −8, this indicates a vertical shift.
Calculate Transformation Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the transformation.The change from −7 to −8 is a decrease by 1 unit. Therefore, the graph of f(x) is shifted down by 1 unit to become g(x).
Match Transformation with Choices: Match the transformation with the given choices.The graph of f(x) is shifted 1 unit down to become g(x). This matches choice (B) translation 1 unit down.
