Question

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

Answer 1

f(x) underwent a downward vertical translation to get g(x)

Explanation:

here, we want to describe a transformation

Looking at the two equations, we can notice that the difference between the two is the -17

Practically, we have this difference as 17 subtracted from the second equation

what this mean is that there is a downward vertical translation of the first graph by 17 units to get the second graph
