Beginning with the function y = x

2
, what function would represent that same curve flipped over the x‑axis and then shifted 4
units down?

Select one:
a. y = x
2
− 4

b. y = (−x − 4)
2

c. y = −x
2
− 4

d. The correct solution is not shown.

e. y = −(x − 4)
2

Start with y = x
2
. To flip the graph over the x axis, multiply by −1 to get y = −x

.

To shift the curve 4 units down, subtract 4 from the expression. This yields y = −x

− 4 .

The correct answer is: y = −x

Question 2

Correct

Mark 1 out of 1

What is the equation of the function that is f (x) = |3x + 3| + 3 translated 5 units down?

Select one:
a. g(x) = |3x + 3| − 2

b. g(x) = |3x − 2| + 3

c. g(x) = |3x + 8| + 3

d. g(x) = |3x + 3| − 5

e. g(x) = |3x + 3| + 8

Your answer is correct.

In order to translate the function f (x) = |3x + 3| + 3 down 5 units, you must subtract 5 from the entire function (the
output).

So, g(x) = |3x + 3| + 3 − 5 which simplifies to g(x) = |3x + 3| − 2 .

The correct answer is: g(x) = |3x + 3| − 2

 1
Let g(x) be a function. The function h is such that h(x) = g(x + 1) − 5 .

Select all transformations applied to g to obtain the function h.

Select one or more:

a. Vertical shrink by a factor of 1

b. Horizontal translation to the left 1 unit

c. Vertical stretch by a factor of 1

d. Vertical translation down 5 units

e. Horizontal translation to the right 1 unit

f. Vertical translation up 5 units

Your answer is correct.

1
Recall, the form h(x) = ag ( (x − h)) + k summarizes the affects of the parameters a, b, h and k on the function
b

g(x) . In this function, a =

1
,h = 1, and k = −5 .
3

|a| < 1 indicates a vertical shrink by a factor of a.

h > 0 indicates a translation to the left h units.

k < 1 indicates a translation down k units.

The correct answers are: Vertical shrink by a factor of 1

, Horizontal translation to the left 1 unit

, Vertical translation down 5 units
Question 4

Correct

Let f (x) = x
2
. The graph of f (x) is translated 3 units up and 6 units right. Identify the function corresponding to the
translation.

Select one:
a. h(x) = (x − 6)
2
+ 3

b. h(x) = (x + 6)
2
− 3

c. h(x) = (x + 6)
2
+ 3

d. h(x) = (x − 6)
2
− 3

e. The correct solution is not shown.

Start with f (x) = x

2
. To translate the parabola 6 units to the right, subtract 6 from x to get g(x) = (x − 6)
2
. Then, to
translate the parabola 3 units up, add 3 to the expression. This yields h(x) = (x − 6)
2
+ 3 .

The correct answer is: h(x) = (x − 6)

Let f (x) be a function and g(x) a transformed function of f such that g(x) = f (6x) . What type of transformation was
applied to f to obtain g?

a. g is a horizontal shrink of a function f by a factor of 6

b. g is a horizontal stretch of function f by a factor of

1

c. g is a horizontal shrink of a function f by a factor of

1

d. g is a horizontal stretch of function f by a factor of 6

Your answer is incorrect.

Since f (x) is transformed in the form of f (bx) , this is a horizontal stretch or shrink.
1
Because |6| > 1 , this is a horizontal shrink by a factor of .

Correct

Mark 1 out of 1

Beginning with the function y = x

2
, what function would represent that same curve shifted to the right 3 units and flipped
over the x‑axis?

Select one:
a. y = (−x − 3)
2

b. y = (x − 3)
2

c. y = −(x + 3)
2

d. The correct solution is not shown.

e. y = −(x − 3)
2

Start with y = x
2
. To shift the curve to the right 3 units, subtract 3 from x. This gives y = (x − 3)

.

To flip the curve about the x-axis, multiply by −1. This yields y = −(x − 3)

b. |a| > 1

c. The correct solution is not shown.

b.
c.
 d.

Since g(x) is in the form of f (x − a) and a ,

< 0 g(x) is a horizonal translation of the function f left a units.

g(x) is a horizontal translation 5 units to the left.

To determine which graph, apply the transformation to points on the graph given:

b. g(x) = −2x − 4

c. g(x) = 2x − 4
