Exercise 67 Page 139

Rewrite the function g(x) in terms of f(x).

Translate down 6 units.

Practice makes perfect

We see that the function g(x) is 6 unit less than f(x). x^2-1= x^2+5-6 ⇓ g(x)= f(x)- 6 Considering the table of possible transformations, the graph of g(x) is the graph of f(x) translated down 6 units.

Possible Transformations

The following table illustrates the general form for all possible transformations of functions.

Transformations of f(x)
Vertical Translations	Translation up k units, k>0 y=f(x)+ k
Vertical Translations	Translation down k units, k<0 y=f(x)+ k
Horizontal Translations	Translation right h units, h>0 y=f(x- h)
Horizontal Translations	Translation left h units, h<0 y=f(x- h)
Vertical Stretch or Compression	Vertical stretch, a>1 y= af(x)
Vertical Stretch or Compression	Vertical compression, 0< a< 1 y= af(x)
Horizontal Stretch or Compression	Horizontal stretch, 0< b<1 y=f( bx)
Horizontal Stretch or Compression	Horizontal compression, b>1 y=f( bx)
Reflections	In the x-axis y=- f(x)
Reflections	In the y-axis y=f(- x)
