The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below.

f(x) = 2x + 9
g(x) = 2x - 15

The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the graph of f(x) by _____ units.

Answer 1

How much do you have to shift down f(x) to obtain g(x)? Basically move down from +9 to -15

Answer 2

@Jesstho.-.

Answer 3

6?

Answer 4

Do you want me to explain the solution?

Answer 5

Erm,

And so on. 9 + 15 = 24, 9 - 24 = -15 so you shift down f(x) = 2x + 9 down 24 intervals.

Answer 6

Do you still need help @BreathlessReaper

Answer 7

Yeah I dont really understand o - o

Answer 8

I'll help :)

Answer 9

The answer is 24

Answer 10

And I'll explain it.

Answer 11

If your are a point that is +9, how many places do you have to move down to get to -15?

Answer 12

Ohh, wait, okay, im starting to understand @tHe_FiZiCx99 I had to slow down and read it over a few times.

Answer 13

Since both lines are parallel

Answer 14

The shifting is equal to difference in y intercept

Answer 15

A simple way is to subtract them hun, 9 - (-15) = 9 + 15 = 24. So if you subtract 9 - 24 you get -15. You're being told to obtain g(x) using f(x). G(x) is at -15.

Answer 16

Here y intercept = 9 and -15 thus different = 24

Answer 17

I hope you understand now :) Have a great evening/night!

Answer 18

And the answer isn't 24 @Jesstho.-. ... 24 is interpreted at +24. You shift down f(x) -24 intervals to obtain -15 :3

Answer 19

How'd you get that?

Answer 20

I got 24.

Answer 21

@wolfe8

Answer 22

f(x) = +9
g(x) = -15

You're at 9. You go DOWN to -15, from 9 to 0 it's -9

from 0 to -15 is -15. -9 - 15 = - 24

Answer 24

I'm going to redo the problem.

Answer 25

K have fun. @BreathlessReaper get it? ^-^

Answer 26

@tHe_FiZiCx99 I believe so. I think i had just made it a lot harder for myself than it should have been xD

Answer 27

I will :P

Answer 28

It's really a matter of graphing it and counting down the intervals or just adding them

Answer 29

Omg,I got 12.

Answer 30

( ._________________________________________.)

@BreathlessReaper there are rules to entering in numerical answer. Some don't allow for signs in them, because it says "down" they're probably implying the answer is already negative (obviously) so putting -24 can be counted incorrect by your exam ._.

Answer 31

I got it ^^ Thank youuuuuu a billion times c: @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 32

You're welcome :>
