Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=−8∣x+4∣−3f(x) = -8|x + 4| - 3 into the graph of g(x)=−8∣x−6∣−3g(x) = -8|x - 6| - 3?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 1010 units right\newline(B) translation 1010 units left\newline(C) translation 1010 units up\newline(D) translation 1010 units down
  1. Identify Vertex of f(x)f(x): Identify the vertex of the absolute value function f(x)=−8∣x+4∣−3f(x) = -8|x + 4| - 3. The vertex of f(x)f(x) occurs where the expression inside the absolute value is zero, so we set x+4=0x + 4 = 0, which gives us x=−4x = -4. The yy-coordinate of the vertex is the value of the function when x=−4x = -4, which is f(−4)=−8∣0∣−3=−3f(-4) = -8|0| - 3 = -3. Therefore, the vertex of f(x)f(x) is (−4,−3)(-4, -3).
  2. Identify Vertex of g(x)g(x): Identify the vertex of the absolute value function g(x)=−8∣x−6∣−3g(x) = -8|x - 6| - 3. Similarly, the vertex of g(x)g(x) occurs where the expression inside the absolute value is zero, so we set x−6=0x - 6 = 0, which gives us x=6x = 6. The yy-coordinate of the vertex is the value of the function when x=6x = 6, which is g(6)=−8∣0∣−3=−3g(6) = -8|0| - 3 = -3. Therefore, the vertex of g(x)g(x) is (6,−3)(6, -3).
  3. Determine Transformation: Determine the transformation from f(x)f(x) to g(x)g(x). The transformation from f(x)f(x) to g(x)g(x) involves a horizontal shift, since the yy-coordinates of the vertices are the same (−3)(-3) and only the xx-coordinates have changed. The shift is from x=−4x = -4 to x=6x = 6, which is a shift to the right by 1010 units.
