Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=3(x+5)2+7f(x) = -3(x + 5)^2 + 7 into the graph of g(x)=3x2+7g(x) = -3x^2 + 7?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 55 units down\newline(B) translation 55 units up\newline(C) translation 55 units left\newline(D) translation 55 units right
  1. Find Vertex of f(x)f(x): Find the vertex of f(x)=3(x+5)2+7f(x) = -3(x + 5)^2 + 7.\newlineVertex form is 3(xh)2+k-3(x - h)^2 + k, where (h,k)(h, k) is the vertex.\newlineSo, vertex of f(x)f(x) is (5,7)(-5, 7).
  2. Find Vertex of g(x)g(x): Find the vertex of g(x)=3x2+7g(x) = -3x^2 + 7. This is already in vertex form 3(x0)2+7-3(x - 0)^2 + 7. So, vertex of g(x)g(x) is (0,7)(0, 7).
  3. Compare Vertices: Compare the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x).\ Vertex of f(x)=(5,7)f(x) = (-5, 7), Vertex of g(x)=(0,7)g(x) = (0, 7).\ The yy-coordinates are the same, so it's a horizontal shift.
  4. Determine Shift Direction: Determine the direction of the shift.\newlineThe xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x) is 5-5 and for g(x)g(x) is 00.\newlineMoving from 5-5 to 00 is a shift to the right.
  5. Calculate Shift Distance: Calculate the distance of the shift.\newline|-5 - 0| = |-5| = 5|.\(\newlineThe graph of \$f(x)\) shifts \(5\) units to the right.
