The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below: f(x) = 32x + 8 g(x) = 32x − 9 The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the graph of f(x) by _____ units. Numerical Answers Expected!
The given in this item are: f(x) = 32x + 8 g(x) = 32x - 9 It can be observed that the expression in the right side of the second function can be obtained by subtracting 17 from the right side expression of the first one. g(x) = f(x) - 17 = 32x + 8 - 17 = 32x - 9 Thus, the graph is shifted through the vertical axis 17 units down.
