Step-by-step explanation:
The value of k in the equation g(x) = f(x) + k comes out to be 8.
How the vertical shifting of a graph takes place?
If the graph of a function f(x) is shifted vertically by k units, f(x) becomes f(x)+k.
From the diagram, we can say that graph of f(x) has been shifted vertically by 8 units
If we shift f(x) vertically by 8 units f(x) becomes f(x)+8 and also coincides with the graph of g(x).
So, g(x) = f(x) + 8........(1)
Comparing (1) and g(x) = f(x) + k, we get k=8.
Hence, the value of k in the equation g(x) = f(x) + k comes out to be 8.
