Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=5(x2)2+4f(x) = 5(x - 2)^2 + 4 into the graph of g(x)=5(x+5)2+4g(x) = 5(x + 5)^2 + 4?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 77 units down\newline(B) translation 77 units up\newline(C) translation 77 units left\newline(D) translation 77 units right
  1. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function f(x)=5(x2)2+4f(x) = 5(x - 2)^2 + 4.\newlineThe vertex form of a quadratic function is f(x)=a(xh)2+kf(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex of the parabola. For f(x)=5(x2)2+4f(x) = 5(x - 2)^2 + 4, the vertex is at (h,k)=(2,4)(h, k) = (2, 4).
  2. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function g(x)=5(x+5)2+4g(x) = 5(x + 5)^2 + 4.\newlineSimilarly, for g(x)=5(x+5)2+4g(x) = 5(x + 5)^2 + 4, the vertex is at (h,k)=(5,4)(h, k) = (-5, 4).
  3. Determine Horizontal Shift: Determine the horizontal shift between the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x). The horizontal shift is the difference in the xx-coordinates of the vertices. The xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x) is 22, and the xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 5-5. The shift is from 22 to 5-5, which is a shift of g(x)g(x)11 units to the left.
  4. Determine Vertical Shift: Determine if there is any vertical shift between the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x). The vertical shift is the difference in the yy-coordinates of the vertices. Since both yy-coordinates are 44, there is no vertical shift.
