Q. What does the transformation f(x)f(x)6 f(x) \mapsto f(x) - 6 do to the graph of f(x) f(x) ?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translates it 6 units down\text{translates it } 6 \text{ units down}\newline(B) translates it 6 units right\text{translates it } 6 \text{ units right}\newline(C) translates it 6 units left\text{translates it } 6 \text{ units left}\newline(D) translates it 6 units up\text{translates it } 6 \text{ units up}
  1. Transformation Type: Transformation: f(x)f(x)6f(x) \mapsto f(x) - 6\newlineWhat type of shift does this transformation indicate?\newlinef(x)f(x)6f(x) \mapsto f(x) - 6 is in the form of f(x)f(x)±kf(x) \mapsto f(x) \pm k.\newlineIt is a vertical shift.
  2. Shift Direction: Let's determine the direction of the shift. f(x)f(x)6f(x) \mapsto f(x) - 6\newlineWhat does the transformation do to the graph of f(x)f(x)?\newlineThis transformation f(x)f(x)6f(x) \mapsto f(x) - 6 subtracts 66, hence the shift moves downwards.\newlineTranslation: translates it 66 units down.
