The graph shows f(x) (1/2) and it transitions, g(x). Witch discribes the translation of (x) to g (x)

Answer:

The translation from f(x) to g(x) is a translation of 4 units up (option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Graph of f(x) =(1/2)^x ang g(x)

To find:

the transformation from f(x) to g(x)

To determine this, we will pick points on the x-axis and compare the result on the y axis for both graphs

when x = 0

f(x) = 1

g(x) = 5

The difference in value = 5 - 1 = 4

when x = 5

f(x) = 0

g(x) = 4

The difference in value = 4 - 0 = 4

We see the difference in value for the y is constant. This means to get g(x), we will add 4 units to the y coordinates of f(x)

The translation from f(x) to g(x) is a translation of 4 units up (this is because the value of y is positive and on the graph g(x) moves above f(x) on the vertical)
