Let f(x) = 2x + 5. The graph of f(x) is transformed into the graph of g(x) by a vertical
stretch of 3 and a translation of 4 units down. What is the equation for g(x)? Show
and explain your work. ​

Respuesta :

The equation of g(x) is g(x) = 6x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some transformation

  • A vertical stretching is the stretching of the graph away from the x-axis, If k > 1, the graph of y = k • f(x) is the graph of f(x) vertically stretched by multiplying each of its y-coordinates by k
  • If the function f(x) translated vertically up by k units, then its image is g(x) = f(x) + k  
  • If the function f(x) translated vertically down by k units, then its image is g(x) = f(x) - k

∵ f(x) = 2x + 5

∵ The graph of f(x) is stretched vertically by scale factor 3

- That means multiply f(x) by 3

∴ The equation of the new graph is 3(2x + 5)

∵ The new graph is translated 4 units down

- That means subtract 4 from 3(2x + 5)

∴ The equation of g(x) is g(x) = 3(2x + 5) - 4

- Simplify the equation of g(x)

∴ g(x) = 3(2x) + 3(5) - 4

∴ g(x) = 6x + 15 - 4

- Add the like terms in the right hand side

∴ g(x) = 6x + 11

The equation of g(x) is g(x) = 6x + 11
