Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=6(x+3)23f(x) = -6(x + 3)^2 - 3 into the graph of g(x)=6(x+4)23g(x) = -6(x + 4)^2 - 3?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 11 unit right\newline(B) translation 11 unit down\newline(C) translation 11 unit up\newline(D) translation 11 unit left
  1. Find Vertex of f(x)f(x): Find the vertex of f(x)f(x).f(x)=6(x+3)23f(x) = -6(x + 3)^2 - 3Vertex of f(x)f(x): (3,3)(-3, -3)
  2. Find Vertex of g(x): Find the vertex of g(x).\newlineg(x) = 6(x+4)23-6(x + 4)^2 - 3\newlineVertex of g(x): (4,3)(-4, -3)
  3. Compare Vertices: Compare the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).\newlineVertex of f(x)f(x): (3,3)(-3, -3)\newlineVertex of g(x)g(x): (4,3)(-4, -3)\newlineThe transformation is horizontal since the yy-values are the same.
  4. Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift.\newlineThe xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 11 unit less than the xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x).\newlinef(x)f(x) shifts to the left to become g(x)g(x).
  5. Calculate Shift Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the shift.\newline3(4)=1=1|-3 - (-4)| = |1| = 1\newlineThe graph of f(x)f(x) shifts 11 unit to the left.
