Question 5: 20 ptsThe number of toys sold per month can be modeled by f(x) = 2x4 + x3 + 6x + 5, where x represents the number ofmonths since June. Let g(x) = f(x) + 7. Which of the following gives the rule for g and the correct explanation of themeaning of the transformation in terms of monthly toy sales?

The function f(x) represents the number of toys sold per month, where "x" represents the number of months since June


f(x)=2x^4+x^3+6x+5

This function was transformed resulting in the function:


g(x)=f(x)+7

When you add a constant to a function, the resulting transformation is a vertical translation up. In this case, the function f(x) was translated 7 units up.

In terms of the variables, this translation in
