Q. What kind of transformation converts the graph of f(x)=7(x+7)26f(x) = -7(x + 7)^2 - 6 into the graph of g(x)=7(x+3)26g(x) = -7(x + 3)^2 - 6?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) translation 44 units right\newline(B) translation 44 units down\newline(C) translation 44 units up\newline(D) translation 44 units left
  1. Identify Vertex: Identify the vertex of the function f(x)f(x). Compare f(x)=7(x+7)26f(x) = -7(x + 7)^2 - 6 with the vertex form of a quadratic function. Vertex of f(x)f(x): (7,6)(-7, -6)
  2. Compare Functions: Identify the vertex of the transformed function g(x)g(x). Compare g(x)=7(x+3)26g(x) = -7(x + 3)^2 - 6 with the vertex form of a quadratic function. Vertex of g(x)g(x): (3,6)(-3, -6)
  3. Identify Transformation Type: Determine the type of transformation. Since the yy-coordinates of the vertices of f(x)f(x) and g(x)g(x) are the same, the transformation is horizontal.
  4. Determine Transformation Direction: Determine the direction of the transformation. The xx-coordinate of the vertex of f(x)f(x) is 7-7, and the xx-coordinate of the vertex of g(x)g(x) is 3-3. Since 3-3 is to the right of 7-7 on the number line, f(x)f(x) shifts to the right to become g(x)g(x).
  5. Calculate Transformation Magnitude: Calculate the magnitude of the transformation.\newline7(3)=7+3=4=4|-7 - (-3)| = |-7 + 3| = |-4| = 4\newlineThe graph of f(x)f(x) shifts 44 units to the right.
