Respuesta :
The function that is the result of vertically stretching f(x) = x²-7 by a factor of 2 and translating downward 5 units is 2x² - 19.
How does the transformation of a function happen?
The transformation of a function may involve any change.
Usually, these can be shifted horizontally (by transforming inputs) or vertically (by transforming output), stretched (multiplying outputs or inputs) etc.
If the original function is y = f(x), assuming the horizontal axis is the input axis and the vertical is for outputs, then:
Horizontal shift (also called phase shift):
- Left shift by c units, y=f(x+c) (same output, but c units earlier)
- Right shift by c units, y=f(x-c)(same output, but c units late)
Vertical shift:
- Up by d units: y = f(x) + d
- Down by d units: y = f(x) - d
Stretching:
- Vertical stretch by a factor k: y = k × f(x)
- Horizontal stretch by a factor k: y = f(x/k)
The given function f(x) is needed to be stretched vertically by a factor of 2, therefore, the function can be written as,
g(x) = 2(x² - 7) = 2x² - 14
Now, the function is needed to be translated by 5 units in the downward direction, therefore,
p(x) = g(x)-5 = 2x² - 14 -5
p(x) = 2x² - 19
Hence, the function that is the result of vertically stretching f(x) = x²-7 by a factor of 2 and translating downward 5 units is 2x² - 19.
