Question

Describe how to transform the graph of f into the graph of g.

f(x) = square root of quantity x minus nine. and g(x) = square root of quantity x plus five.

Answer 1

@iGreen any help on this one?

Answer 2

\(f(x) = \sqrt{x-9}\)
\(g(x) = \sqrt{x+5}\)

-9 + ? = 5

Answer 3

Answer 4

14

Answer 5

But is that to the right or left?

Answer 6

Right so it's 14.

If you added 14 to 9 in the f(x), f(x) will become g(x).

Answer 7

What do you mean?

Answer 8

The questions says to describe the transform. I get that it's 14 units but the answers ask for to the right or left. I'll post the answer choices.

Answer 9

Shift the graph of f right 14 units.

Shift the graph of f right 4 units.

Shift the graph of f left 14 units.

Shift the graph of f left 4 units.

Answer 10

The graph f(x) is to the right of g(x) by 14. So what direction will you shift it?

Answer 11

left?

Answer 12

Yep! So your answer's gonna be shift 14 units left.

Answer 13

Thank you so much!!
