Question

Describe the transformation of f(x) = sin x to g(x) = sin x - 17

Answer 1

Answer: To find the transformation, compare the function to the parent function and check to see if there is a horizontal or vertical shift, reflection about the x-axis or y-axis, and if there is a vertical stretch.

Amplitude: 1

Period: 2π

Phase Shift: 0( 0 to the right)

Vertical Shift: −17

Answer 2

f(x) is shifted 7 units down to g(x).
