Question

Assignment: Translating Functions Investigation

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A)

1) The graph in the attached figure N 1

2) The coordinate rule is (x,y) -----> (x,y+10)

3) The translation of the function up 10 units means that the initial deposit is $60 instead of $50

Part B)

1) The graph in the attached figure N2

2) The coordinate rule is (x,y) -----> (x-10,y)

3) The translation of the function right 10 units means that the initial deposit is equal to $10

Part C)

1) In each translation, the slope is the same (m=5) are parallel lines

2) The vertical translation would be up 40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$f(x)=5x+50$

where

f(x) --> represents Jeremy's account balance

x ---> the time in years

Part A)

The translation of the function is up 10 units.

The rule of the translation is equal to

(x,y) -----> (x,y+10)

so

The new function will be

$f(x)=5x+50+10$

$f(x)=5x+60$

The graph in the attached figure N 1

The translation of the function up 10 units means that the initial deposit is $60 instead of $50

Part B)

The translation of the function is right 10 units.

The rule of the translation is equal to

(x,y) -----> (x-10,y)

so

we have

$f(x)=5x+60$ ----> function Part A

The new function will be

$f(x)=5(x-10)+60$

$f(x)=5x+10$

The graph in the attached figure N 2

The translation of the function right 10 units means that the initial deposit is equal to $10

Part C)

1. Look at the translations, what characteristic of the graph stayed the same in each translation?

In each translation, the slope is the same

The slope m is equal to m=5  

Are parallel lines

2. Look at the original graph and the graph of the translation right 10 units. What vertical translation of the graph in Part B would put the graph back to its original position?

we have

$f(x)=5x+10$

The vertical translation would be up 40 units

The rule of the translation is equal to

(x,y) -----> (x,y+40)

so

The new function will be

$f(x)=5x+10+40$

$f(x)=5x+50$
