Cevap: $(1, -5)$

Cevap

(1, -5)

The correct answer is the point

(1, -5)

. Since the point

(3, -4)

lies on the graph of

f

, we know that

f(3) = -4

. For the function

g(x) = f(x + 2) - 1

, substituting

x = 1

gives

g(1) = f(1 + 2) - 1 = f(3) - 1

. Substituting

-4

for

f(3)

yields

g(1) = -4 - 1 = -5

. Thus, the point

(1, -5)

must lie on the graph of

Cevap: $g(x) = f(x - 4) - 3$

Cevap

The equation that defines

g(x)

in terms of

f(x)

is

g(x) = f(x - 4) - 3

.

The equation

g(x) = f(x - 4) - 3

correctly represents the translated function. A translation of

4

units to the right is represented by replacing

x

with

x - 4

within the function's input, and a translation of

3

units down is represented by subtracting

3

from the outer function.

Cevap

The correct answer is 13.

The graph of

y = f(x)

has a minimum at

(5, -2)

, which means

f(5) = -2

and

f(x) \ge -2

for all

x

. The function

g(x) = -3f(2x-4) + 7

includes a vertical stretch by a factor of

3

, a vertical reflection across the

x

-axis, and a vertical shift upward by

7

units. Because of the vertical reflection, the minimum value of the original function becomes the maximum value of the transformed function. Applying the vertical transformations to the

y

-coordinate of the minimum point yields

-3(-2) + 7 = 6 + 7 = 13

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the minimum point and minimum value of the original function

f(x)

.

f(5) = -2

Determine the transformed

x

-coordinate corresponding to the original input of

5

.

2x - 4 = 5 \implies 2x = 9 \implies x = 4.5

Setting the argument of the function

f(2x-4)

equal to the original minimum input of

5

allows us to find the corresponding input

x

for the function

g

.

3

Apply the vertical transformations to find the output value of

g(x)

at

x = 4.5

.

g(4.5) = -3f(5) + 7 = -3(-2) + 7 = 6 + 7 = 13

.

Substituting

f(5) = -2

into the definition of

g(x)

gives the vertical transformation of the point.

4

Confirm that the point is indeed the maximum of the transformed function

g(x)

Since

f(2x-4) \ge -2

To find the value of

g(2)

, we first determine the equation of the quadratic function

f(x)

. Since the vertex is

(3, -4)

, the vertex form is

f(x) = a(x - 3)^2 - 4

. Substituting the point

(5, 8)

yields

8 = a(5 - 3)^2 - 4

, which simplifies to

12 = 4a

, so

a = 3

. Therefore,

f(x) = 3(x - 3)^2 - 4

. We then substitute

x = 2

into the definition of

g(x)

, obtaining

g(2) = -2f(2 - 1) + 5 = -2f(1) + 5

. Evaluating

f(1)

gives

f(1) = 3(1 - 3)^2 - 4 = 8

g(2)

gives

-2(8) + 5 = -11

. Thus, the option with value -11 is correct.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the quadratic function

f(x)

in vertex form using the given vertex

(3, -4)

.

f(x) = a(x - 3)^2 - 4

The vertex form of a quadratic function is

f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

, where

(h, k)

is the vertex.

2

Substitute the point

(5, 8)

into the vertex form to solve for the constant

a

.

8 = a(5 - 3)^2 - 4 \implies 8 = 4a - 4 \implies 12 = 4a \implies a = 3

. Thus,

f(x) = 3(x - 3)^2 - 4

.

Since the graph of

f

Substitute

x = 2

into the definition of

g(x)

to express

g(2)

in terms of

g(2) = -2f(2 - 1) + 5 = -2f(1) + 5

We need to evaluate the inner function transformation

f(x - 1)

at

x = 2

Evaluate

f(1)

using the formula determined in Step 2.

f(1) = 3(1 - 3)^2 - 4 = 3(-2)^2 - 4 = 3(4) - 4 = 8

To find

g(2)

, we must first compute the value of

f(1)

Substitute

f(1) = 8

back into the expression for

(0, -1)

yields the second equation

-2a + k = -1

Relate the vertex of

f(x)

to the vertex of

g(x) = a f(x - h) + k

.

h = 3

and

-3a + k = 5

.

The horizontal shift

h

moves the vertex from

x = -2

to

x = 1

, so

-2 + h = 1 \implies h = 3

. The vertical stretch and translation transform the

y

Use the given point

Since the graph of

-13

To locate the local minimum of the transformed function

g(x) = 1 - 3f(2x - 4)

, we analyze the vertical reflection and scaling. The negative coefficient in

-3f(2x - 4)

reflects the graph vertically, which means the local maximum of

f(x)

at the point

(-2, 5)

becomes the local minimum of

g(x)

. To find the corresponding

x

-coordinate

h

, we solve

2h - 4 = -2

, which gives

h = 1

. To find the corresponding

y

-coordinate

k

, we evaluate

g(1) = 1 - 3f(-2) = 1 - 3(5) = -14

. Thus, the local minimum occurs at

(1, -14)

, and the sum of these coordinates is

1 + (-14) = -13

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze how the vertical reflection in

g(x) = 1 - 3f(2x - 4)

affects the extrema.

Due to the negative coefficient in

-3f(2x - 4)

, the graph is reflected vertically. Therefore, the local maximum of

f(x)

at

(-2, 5)

transforms into the local minimum of

g(x)

, while the local minimum of

f(x)

transforms into the local maximum of

g(x)

.

A vertical reflection inverts the relative heights of the outputs, converting peaks to valleys and vice versa.

2

Determine the horizontal transformation to find the

x

-coordinate

h

of the new local minimum.

Set the input of

f

in the definition of

g(x)

equal to the

x

-coordinate of the maximum of

f(x)

, which is

-2

:

2h - 4 = -2

. Solving this equation gives

2h = 2

, which yields

h = 1

.

The horizontal shift and compression require solving for the new input variable that produces the same argument for the inner function.

3

Determine the vertical transformation to find the

y

-coordinate

k

of the new local minimum.

Substitute

h = 1

into

g(x)

to find the output value:

k = g(1) = 1 - 3f(2(1) - 4) = 1 - 3f(-2)

A quadratic function $f$ has its vertex at $(4, -3)$ in the coordinate plane. The point $(2, 5)$ is on the graph of $y = f(x)$ . The function $g$ is defined by $g(x) = -f(x - 3) + 8$ . What is the value of $g(8)$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 9

Cevap

The correct answer is 9.

The correct answer is 9. To find this, we first establish the vertex form of the quadratic function

f(x) = a(x - 4)^2 - 3

. Substituting the point

(2, 5)

gives

5 = a(2 - 4)^2 - 3

, which simplifies to

8 = 4a

, so

a = 2

. Thus,

f(x) = 2(x - 4)^2 - 3

. To find the value of

g(8)

, we substitute

8

into the definition of

g(x)

, yielding

g(8) = -f(8 - 3) + 8 = -f(5) + 8

. Evaluating

f(5)

gives

2(5 - 4)^2 - 3 = -1

. Finally, substituting

-1

back into the expression for

g(8)

gives

-(-1) + 8 = 9

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the quadratic function

f(x)

in vertex form using its vertex

(4, -3)

.

f(x) = a(x - 4)^2 - 3

The vertex form of a quadratic function with vertex

(h, k)

is

f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

.

2

Substitute the coordinates of the point

(2, 5)

into the vertex form to find the value of the constant

a

.

a = 2

, so

f(x) = 2(x - 4)^2 - 3

Since the point

(2, 5)

lies on the graph of

f

, substituting

x = 2

and

f(2) = 5

allows us to solve for the vertical stretch factor

a

.

3

Use the definition of

g(x)

to express

g(8)

in terms of

f

.

g(8) = -f(5) + 8

Substituting

x = 8

into the equation

g(x) = -f(x - 3) + 8

yields

g(8) = -f(8 - 3) + 8 = -f(5) + 8

.

4

Evaluate

f(5)

using the equation for

f(x)

found in Step 2.

f(5) = -1

Substituting

x = 5

into

f(x) = 2(x - 4)^2 - 3

gives

2(5 - 4)^2 - 3 = 2(1) - 3 = -1

.

5

Substitute the value of

f(5)

into the expression for

g(8)

to find the final result.

g(8) = 9

Substituting

f(5) = -1

into

g(8) = -f(5) + 8

yields

-(-1) + 8 = 1 + 8 = 9

.

The vertex of the quadratic function

f(x)

is identified from the symmetric table values as

(0, 2)

. Under the transformation

g(x) = -2(f(x - 3) + 4)

, the input

x - 3

shifts the vertex horizontally to the right by 3 units, so the new x-coordinate is

p = 3

. Evaluating

g(3)

gives

q = -2(f(0) + 4) = -2(2 + 4) = -2(6) = -12

. The sum of these coordinates is

p + q = 3 + (-12) = -9

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the vertex of the function

f(x)

from the table.

Vertex of

f(x)

is

(0, 2)

.

Since

f

is a quadratic function and the table shows symmetry about

x = 0

(with

f(-2) = f(2) = 6

and

f(-4) = f(4) = 18

), the vertex must be at the point where

x = 0

, which gives

f(0) = 2

.

2

Determine the x-coordinate

p

of the corresponding point on the graph of

g(x)

.

p = 3

.

The function

g

is defined as

g(x) = -2(f(x - 3) + 4)

. The expression

f(x - 3)

indicates a horizontal translation of the graph of

f

to the right by 3 units. Therefore, the x-coordinate of the vertex shifts from

0

to

0 + 3 = 3

.

3

Determine the y-coordinate

q

of the corresponding point on the graph of

g(x)

by evaluating

g(3)

.

q = -12

.

Substitute

x = 3

into the definition of

g(x)

:

g(3) = -2(f(3 - 3) + 4) = -2(f(0) + 4)

. Since

f(0) = 2

, this simplifies to

-2(2 + 4) = -2(6) = -12

.

4

Calculate the value of

p + q

.

p + q = -9

.

Adding the coordinates

p = 3

and

q = -12

yields

The function $f$ is defined by $f(x) = 3^x - 4$ . In the $xy$ -plane, the graph of the function $g$ is obtained by first reflecting the graph of $f$ across the $x$ -axis, then translating the graph vertically up by 10 units, and finally translating the graph horizontally to the right by 2 units. If $g(c) = 5$ , what is the value of $c$ ?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 4

Cevap

The value of c is 4.

Reflecting the function

f(x) = 3^x - 4

across the

x

-axis changes its sign to

-f(x) = -3^x + 4

. Translating this graph vertically up by 10 units adds 10 to the function, yielding

-3^x + 14

. Finally, translating horizontally to the right by 2 units replaces

x

with

x - 2

, producing the function

g(x) = -3^{x-2} + 14

. Setting

g(c) = 5

gives the equation

-3^{c-2} + 14 = 5

. Subtracting 14 from both sides results in

-3^{c-2} = -9

, which simplifies to

3^{c-2} = 9

. Since

9 = 3^2

, the exponent

c-2

must equal 2, which gives

c = 4

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Reflect the function

f(x) = 3^x - 4

across the

x

-axis

-f(x) = -(3^x - 4) = -3^x + 4

A reflection across the

x

-axis replaces

y

with

-y

, meaning the entire function is multiplied by

-1

.

2

Translate the reflected function vertically up by 10 units

-3^x + 4 + 10 = -3^x + 14

A vertical translation upward by

k

units adds

k

directly to the function expression.

3

Translate the function horizontally to the right by 2 units

g(x) = -3^{x-2} + 14

A horizontal translation to the right by

h

units replaces

x

with

x-h

in the function expression.

4

Set

g(c) = 5

and solve the exponential equation for

c

-3^{c-2} + 14 = 5 \implies 3^{c-2} = 9 \implies c - 2 = 2 \implies c = 4

Substitute

c

into

g(x)

, set the output to 5, isolate the exponential term, and equate exponents to find

c

.

(4, 7)

To find the coordinates of the relative maximum on the graph of

y = g(x)

that corresponds to the relative minimum of

y = f(x)

at

(2, -4)

, we first find the new

x

-coordinate. The input to the function

f

must be

2

, so we set the argument

2x - 6 = 2

, which solves to

x = 4

. Next, we find the new

y

-coordinate by evaluating

g(4) = 3 - f(2)

. Substituting

f(2) = -4

, we get

g(4) = 3 - (-4) = 7

. Thus, the coordinates of the corresponding relative maximum are

(4, 7)

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Set the argument of the function

f

in

g(x)

equal to the

x

-coordinate of the known point on the graph of

f

.

2x - 6 = 2

The relative minimum of

f

occurs when its input is 2.

2

Solve the equation for

x

to find the transformed

x

-coordinate.

2x = 8 \implies x = 4

Isolating the variable

x

by adding 6 to both sides and then dividing by 2.

3

Substitute

x = 4

into the definition of

g(x)

to calculate the transformed

y

-coordinate.

g(4) = 3 - f(2(4) - 6) = 3 - f(2)

This evaluates the vertical transformation of the function at the corresponding

x

-value.

4

Substitute the value

f(2) = -4

and simplify.

g(4) = 3 - (-4) = 3 + 4 = 7

Since the minimum of

f

is at

(2, -4)

, we know

f(2) = -4

. The negation in front of

f

reflects the minimum to a maximum.

The vertex of the parent function

f(x)

g(x) = f(-x + 3) + 12

To find the minimum value of

f(x) = x^2 - 4x + 7

, we can complete the square to write it in vertex form:

f(x) = (x - 2)^2 + 3

. The vertex of the graph of

f

is

(2, 3)

, meaning the minimum value of

f

is

v = 3

, occurring at

x = 2

. The function

g

g(x) = f(x - 3) + 2

, which represents a shift of the graph of

f

to the right by 3 units and up by 2 units. Since the minimum of

f

occurs at

x = 2

g
