Question

The graph of f(x) = x2 was transformed tu

create the graph of d(x) = f(x) + 9. Which of
the following attributes will be the same for the
graphs f(x) and d(x)?
1. the domain
11. the range
III. the axis of symmetry

Answer 1

i: the domain.

iii: the axis of symmetry.

Explanation:

We have the function:

f(x) = x^2

The domain of this function is the set of all real numbers, and the range is:

R: [0, ∞)

(because 0 is the minimum of x^2)

Now we have the transformation:

d(x) = f(x) + 9 = x^2 + 9

Notice that this is only a vertical translation of 9 units, then there is no horizontal movement, then the axis of symmetry does not change.

Also, in d(x) there is no value of x that makes a problem, so the domain is the set of all real numbers, then the domain does not change.

And d(x) = x^2 + 9 has the minimum at x = 0, then the minimum is:

d(0) = 0^2 + 9 = 9

Then the range is:

R: [9, ∞)

Then the range changes.

So we can conclude that the attributes that will be the same for f(x) and d(x) are:

i: the domain.

iii: the axis of symmetry.
