Question

The graph of f(x) = (0.5)x is replaced by the graph of g(x) = (0.5)x − k. If g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) down by 7 units, then what is the value of k?
k equals one seventh
k equals negative one seventh
k = 7
k = −7

Answer 1

Answer:

k = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical shift down by 7units, f(x) - 7

g(x) = (0.5)x - 7

g(x) = (0.5)x - k

Comparing both equations, k = 7
