What transformations change the graph of f(x) to the graph of g(x)? f(x) = -7x2, g(x) = -35x2 + 5
Solution:
Given, functions are f(x) = -7x2
g(x) = -35x2 + 5
We have to find the transformation that changes the graph of f(x) to g(x).
The transformation to the graph is given by y = a[f(x)]
If a > 1, the graph of y = f(x) os expanded vertically by a factor a.
When a = 5
y = 5(f(x))
y = 5(-7x2)
y = -35x2
The translation to the graph is given by y = f(x) + k
If k > 0 the graph moves k units up.
When k = 5
y = -35x2 + 5
y = g(x)
Therefore, the graph f(x) is moved vertically by a factor of 5 and translated up to 5 units.
What transformations change the graph of f(x) to the graph of g(x)? f(x) = -7x2, g(x) = -35x2 + 5
Summary:
The transformation that changes the graph of f(x) = -7x2 to the graph of g(x) = -35x2 + 5 is f(x) is moved vertically by a factor of 5 and translated upto 5 units.
