Question

If g(x)=4x^2-16 we’re shifted 9 united to the right and 1 down, what would the new equation be?

Answer 1

Shown in the graph

Explanation:

Using graph tools we can graph the function:

$g(x)=4x^2-16$

which is the red graph shown below. As you can see, this is a parabola. The rule for vertical and horizontal shifts is as follows:

$Let \ c \ be \ a \ positive \ real \ number. \ \mathbf{Vertical \ and \ horizontal \ shifts} \\ in \ the \ graph \ of \ y=f(x) \ are \ represented \ as \ follows:$

$\bullet \ Vertical \ shift \ c \ units \ \mathbf{upward}: \\ h(x)=f(x)+c \\ \\ \bullet \ Vertical \ shift \ c \ units \ \mathbf{downward}: \\ h(x)=f(x)-c \\ \\ \bullet \ Horizontal \ shift \ c \ units \ to \ the \ right \ \mathbf{right}: \\ h(x)=f(x-c) \\ \\ \bullet \ Horizontal \ shift \ c \ units \ to \ the \ left \ \mathbf{left}: \\ h(x)=f(x+c)$

Therefore, If we shift the red graph 9 units to the right and 1 down, our new function (let's call it $h(x)$) will be:

$h(x)=4\left(x-9\right)^{2}-16-1 \\ \\ Simplifying: \\ \\ h(x)=4\left(x-9\right)^{2}-17$

This graph is the blue graph below. Let's verify the transformation taking the vertex of the red graph:

$(0,-16)$

By translating the 9 units to the right and 1 down the vertex is also translated by the same rule, so:

$New \ vertex: \\ \\ (0+9,-16-1) \\ \\ (9,-17)$
