Math Problem Statement

The graph of f(x) contains the point (-1, 6). What point must be on each of the following transformed graphs?

Solution

Let's analyze the transformations and apply them to the given point (1,6)(-1, 6) on the graph of f(x)f(x).

Given Information:

  • The graph of f(x)f(x) contains the point (1,6)(-1, 6).

Now, we'll solve each transformation step by step:

(a) The graph of f(x6)f(x - 6):

This represents a horizontal shift to the right by 6 units.

  • When shifting horizontally, only the x-coordinate changes.
  • New point: (1+6,6)=(5,6)(-1 + 6, 6) = (5, 6).

(b) The graph of f(x)7f(x) - 7:

This represents a vertical shift down by 7 units.

  • When shifting vertically, only the y-coordinate changes.
  • New point: (1,67)=(1,1)(-1, 6 - 7) = (-1, -1).

(c) The graph of f(x+2)+3f(x + 2) + 3:

This represents two transformations:

  1. A horizontal shift to the left by 2 units (due to x+2x + 2).
  2. A vertical shift up by 3 units (due to +3+3).
  • Horizontal shift affects the x-coordinate: 12=3-1 - 2 = -3.
  • Vertical shift affects the y-coordinate: 6+3=96 + 3 = 9.
  • New point: (3,9)(-3, 9).

Final Answers:

  • (a) (5,6)(5, 6)
  • (b) (1,1)(-1, -1)
  • (c) (3,9)(-3, 9)

Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations. Here are some related questions for practice:

  1. What happens to a point under a reflection across the x-axis?
  2. How does a vertical stretch affect the coordinates of a point on a graph?
  3. What point does the graph of f(x+4)2f(x + 4) - 2 pass through if f(x)f(x) passes through (2,5)(2, 5)?
  4. How do you describe the transformation f(x3)+4f(x - 3) + 4?
  5. What happens to the point (0,0)(0, 0) when the graph undergoes a vertical shift up by 7?

Tip: Horizontal shifts affect the x-values, while vertical shifts affect the y-values.
