Answer: Option C
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever we have a main function f(x) and we want to transform the graph of f(x) by moving it vertically then we apply the transformation:
If then the graph of k(x) will be the graph of f(x) displaced vertically b units down.
If then the graph of k(x) will be the graph of f(x) displaced vertically b units upwards.
In this case we have
We know that this function has its vertex in point (0,0).
Then, to move its vertex 7 units down we apply the transformation:
.
Then the function k(x) that will have its vertex 7 units below f(x) is
We need to start from the innermost parenthesis and work our way out.
The first parenthesis is . These are not like terms because one involves a variable, while the other is a constant term. Two terms are summable if they involve the same power(s) of the same variable(s).
So, we can take one step outwards, and we arrive to the square brackets. We have
and 2z and -13z are like terms, so we can sum them:
Finally we arrive to the whole expression, which is
Because, again, 5z and 11z were like terms.
