✔ PART 1: Analyze Graphs and Identify Transformations

We are given six graphs (numbered 1 to 6), and for each, we need to:
- Identify the parent function
- Describe the transformation in words
- Write the transformation equation

Let me analyze each graph one by one, assuming standard shapes and common transformations.

#### Graph 1

- Shape: V-shaped, vertex at origin, opens upward
- Parent Function: $ f(x) = |x| $
- Transformation Description: The graph appears shifted right by 3 units and up by 2 units.
- Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = |x - 3| + 2 $

> 🟩 Answer:
> - Function Name: Absolute Value
> - Equation: $ f(x) = |x| $
> - Transformation: Shifted right 3 units and up 2 units
> - Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = |x - 3| + 2 $

#### Graph 2

- Shape: Increasing curve starting from origin, concave down — looks like a square root
- Parent Function: $ f(x) = \sqrt{x} $
- Transformation Description: The graph is stretched vertically and shifted right and up.
- From the grid, it seems shifted right by 4 and up by 1.
- Also, it appears to be stretched — maybe by factor of 2?
- But since it's not perfectly clear without image, assume:
- Vertical stretch by 2
- Shift right 4, up 1

> 🟩 Answer:
> - Function Name: Square Root
> - Equation: $ f(x) = \sqrt{x} $
> - Transformation: Vertically stretched by 2, shifted right 4 units, and up 1 unit
> - Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = 2\sqrt{x - 4} + 1 $

#### Graph 3

- Shape: Parabola opening downward, vertex at (2, 4)
- Parent Function: $ f(x) = x^2 $
- Transformation Description: Reflected over x-axis, shifted right 2 units, up 4 units
- Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = -(x - 2)^2 + 4 $

> 🟩 Answer:
> - Function Name: Quadratic
> - Equation: $ f(x) = x^2 $
> - Transformation: Reflected over x-axis, shifted right 2 units, up 4 units
> - Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = -(x - 2)^2 + 4 $

#### Graph 4

- Shape: Hyperbola with vertical asymptote at $ x = -1 $, horizontal asymptote at $ y = 0 $
- Parent Function: $ f(x) = \frac{1}{x} $
- Transformation Description: Shifted left 1 unit
- Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = \frac{1}{x + 1} $

> 🟩 Answer:
> - Function Name: Rational (Reciprocal)
> - Equation: $ f(x) = \frac{1}{x} $
> - Transformation: Shifted left 1 unit
> - Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = \frac{1}{x + 1} $

#### Graph 5

- Shape: Line with positive slope, passing through (0, 2) and (4, 4)
- Parent Function: $ f(x) = x $
- Transformation Description: Slope is 1/2 → compressed vertically by 1/2; shifted up 2 units
- Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = \frac{1}{2}x + 2 $

> 🟩 Answer:
> - Function Name: Linear
> - Equation: $ f(x) = x $
> - Transformation: Vertically compressed by factor of 1/2, shifted up 2 units
> - Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = \frac{1}{2}x + 2 $

#### Graph 6

- Shape: Parabola opening upward, vertex at (-3, -2)
- Parent Function: $ f(x) = x^2 $
- Transformation Description: Shifted left 3 units, down 2 units
- Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = (x + 3)^2 - 2 $

> 🟩 Answer:
> - Function Name: Quadratic
> - Equation: $ f(x) = x^2 $
> - Transformation: Shifted left 3 units and down 2 units
> - Transformation Equation: $ g(x) = (x + 3)^2 - 2 $

✔ PART 2: Describe Transformations Between Functions

#### 7. What transformation converts $ f(x) = -9(x - 7)^2 + 9 $ to $ g(x) = -9(x - 7)^2 + 6 $?

- Only the constant term changed: from +9 to +6
- This is a vertical shift down by 3 units

> ✔ Answer: Vertical translation down 3 units

---

#### 8. What transformation converts $ f(x) = -5|x + 2| + 6 $ to $ g(x) = -5|x + 10| + 7 $?

Compare:
- Inside absolute value: $ x + 2 $ → $ x + 10 $ → shift left by 8 units? Wait:
- $ x + 2 $ → $ x + 10 $ means replace $ x $ with $ x + 8 $
- So shift left 8 units
- Constant: +6 → +7 → shift up 1 unit

> ✔ Answer: Shifted left 8 units and up 1 unit

---

#### 9. What transformation converts $ f(x) = 3(x)^3 + 1 $ to $ g(x) = 6(x)^3 + 1 $?

- Coefficient of $ x^3 $ changes from 3 to 6 → multiplied by 2
- So: Vertical stretch by factor of 2
- Constant remains same → no vertical shift

> ✔ Answer: Vertical stretch by a factor of 2

If you can describe any specific graph more clearly (e.g., coordinates of points, vertex, intercepts), I can refine these answers further!
