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 (bloomlocke367):

do you know what to do? all you have to do is subtract -9 from 8... so 8-(-9)

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

^ Yeah no.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

The graph is being shifted downwards. f(x) = 32x + 8 <-- this number controls that.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

You need to find out the number of units that distances -9 from 8 and that is how many units it has been shifted.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Just add 9 + 8

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

yes.... I understand that. 8--9 is the same as 8+9 which is 17... it shifts 17 units down

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

down

OpenStudy (igreen):

@BloomLocke367 Nice work, but try not to give the answer.

OpenStudy (unanimoose):

Oh yeah, mb. I got a little confused there. But please don't give the direct answer.

OpenStudy (igreen):

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

sorry...
