Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=2(x+4)2+3f(x) = -2(x + 4)^2 + 3 into the graph of g(x)=2(x4)2+3g(x) = -2(x - 4)^2 + 3?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 88 units down\newline(B) translation 88 units left\newline(C) translation 88 units up\newline(D) translation 88 units right
  1. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function f(x)f(x). Compare f(x)=2(x+4)2+3f(x) = -2(x + 4)^2 + 3 with the vertex form of a quadratic function. Vertex of f(x)f(x): (4,3)(-4, 3)
  2. Compare Functions: Identify the vertex of the function g(x)g(x). Compare g(x)=2(x4)2+3g(x) = -2(x - 4)^2 + 3 with the vertex form of a quadratic function. Vertex of g(x)g(x): (4,3)(4, 3)
  3. Determine Transformation Type: Determine the type of transformation.\newlineThe vertex of f(x)f(x) is (4,3)(-4, 3) and the vertex of g(x)g(x) is (4,3)(4, 3).\newlineSince the yy-values of the vertices are the same and the xx-values have changed, the transformation is horizontal.
  4. Determine Transformation Direction: Determine the direction of the transformation. The xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x) is 4-4 and the xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 44. Since the xx-coordinate has increased, the graph has shifted to the right.
  5. Calculate Transformation Distance: Calculate the distance of the transformation.\newlineThe difference in xx-coordinates of the vertices is 4(4)=84 - (-4) = 8.\newlineThe graph of f(x)f(x) shifts 88 units to the right.
