Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=x+19f(x) = |x + 1| - 9 into the graph of g(x)=x+49g(x) = |x + 4| - 9?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 33 units left\newline(B) translation 33 units right\newline(C) translation 33 units down\newline(D) translation 33 units up
  1. Compare inside absolute value: Compare the inside of the absolute value for f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).\newlinef(x)f(x) has x+1|x + 1| and g(x)g(x) has x+4|x + 4|.
  2. Determine horizontal shift: Determine the horizontal shift from x+1|x + 1| to x+4|x + 4|. To go from +1+1 to +4+4, you add 33.
  3. Decide left or right shift: Decide if the shift is to the left or right.\newlineAdding 33 to the inside of the absolute value moves the graph to the left.
  4. Check vertical shift: Check if there's any vertical shift. Both f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) have 9-9 outside the absolute value, so there's no vertical shift.
