Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=10(x4)2+9f(x) = 10(x - 4)^2 + 9 into the graph of g(x)=10(x3)2+9g(x) = 10(x - 3)^2 + 9?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 11 unit down\newline(B) translation 11 unit up\newline(C) translation 11 unit right\newline(D) translation 11 unit left
  1. Identify vertex function: Identify the vertex of the function f(x)f(x). Compare f(x)=10(x4)2+9f(x) = 10(x - 4)^2 + 9 with the vertex form of a parabola, y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex. Vertex of f(x)f(x): (4,9)(4, 9)
  2. Compare with vertex form: Identify the vertex of the function g(x)g(x). Compare g(x)=10(x3)2+9g(x) = 10(x - 3)^2 + 9 with the vertex form of a parabola, y=a(xh)2+ky = a(x - h)^2 + k. Vertex of g(x)g(x): (3,9)(3, 9)
  3. Identify vertex function: Determine the type of transformation.\newlineThe yy-coordinates of the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) are the same, so there is no vertical shift.\newlineThe xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 11 unit less than the xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x), indicating a horizontal shift.
  4. Compare with vertex form: Determine the direction of the horizontal shift.\newlineThe x-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x) is 44, and the x-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 33.\newlineSince 33 is to the left of 44 on the number line, the graph has shifted 11 unit to the left.
