The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below: f(x) = 32x + 8 g(x) = 32x - 9 The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the graph of f(x) by _____ units.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont get what its asking

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{blue}{ f(x)=32+8}\) \(\normalsize\color{blue}{ g(x)=32+8\color{red}{-17}}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

g(x) is obtain from f(x). how ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

*obtained

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

you subtract 17 from f(x) to get g(x) right ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

32x... in both g(x) and f(x), but the shift is still same.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it asking how far away the y int is from each other?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

It is asking, what do you do to f(x), to get f(x) ?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

to get g(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

change the y int 17 down i think

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes, you SHIFT f(x) 17 units down, to obtain g(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright thank you genius :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

That's kind:) yw !
