Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=8(x+9)25f(x) = -8(x + 9)^2 - 5 into the graph of g(x)=8(x+6)25g(x) = -8(x + 6)^2 - 5?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 33 units right\newline(B) translation 33 units left\newline(C) translation 33 units up\newline(D) translation 33 units down
  1. Find Vertex of f(x)f(x): Find the vertex of f(x)f(x) by comparing f(x)=8(x+9)25f(x) = -8(x + 9)^2 - 5 with the vertex form.\newlineVertex of f(x)f(x): (9,5)(-9, -5)
  2. Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of g(x)g(x) by comparing g(x)=8(x+6)25g(x) = -8(x + 6)^2 - 5 with the vertex form.\newlineVertex of g(x)g(x): (6,5)(-6, -5)
  3. Determine Transformation Type: Determine if the transformation is horizontal or vertical by comparing the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).\newlineSince the yy-values are the same and the xx-values change, the transformation is horizontal.
  4. Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift by comparing the xx-coordinates of the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x). The xx-coordinate of f(x)f(x) is 9-9 and the xx-coordinate of g(x)g(x) is 6-6. Since 6-6 is to the right of 9-9, f(x)f(x) shifts to the right.
  5. Calculate Shift Distance: Calculate the distance of the horizontal shift from the vertex of f(x)f(x) to the vertex of g(x)g(x).\newline9(6)=9+6=3=3|-9 - (-6)| = |-9 + 6| = |-3| = 3\newlineThe graph of f(x)f(x) shifts 33 units to the right.
