Which function is vertically stretched by a factor of 6 and translated 8 units right from the parent function?

Question

anonymous · Answer

@SolomonZelman  Could you help me with this problem as well please?

solomonzelman · Answer

general translations from f(x)=2x

f(x)=2(x+1)        1 unit left
f(x)=2(x-1)         1 unit right
f(x)=2x +1          1 unit up
f(x)=2x -1           1 unit down

and f(x)=6x is going to make it 3 times steeper.

anonymous · Answer

okay, where does the 8 units right play a role in this? @SolomonZelman

solomonzelman · Answer

What is your parent function ?

anonymous · Answer

it didn't give us one

solomonzelman · Answer

I would assume that the parent is f(x)=x    a plain y=x, 

then it would be    f(x)=6(x-8)

solomonzelman · Answer

I think.....

anonymous · Answer

the correct answer ia 6log(x-8)

solomonzelman · Answer

Well.... "log" I am sorry... but how was I supposed to know that? I think that you were given that, or otherwise it is an unfair question.

anonymous · Answer

that's what the teacher gave us - i guess it's her fault then i don't know

solomonzelman · Answer

Well, she have probably given you the parent function...idk -:(
