Question

The function f(x) = –1∕3x2 is shifted down one unit. Which of the following function equations represents this translation? Question 6 options:

A) f(x) = –1∕3(x – 1)2
B) f(x) = –1∕3x2 + 1
C) f(x) = –1∕3x2 – 1
D) f(x) = –1∕3(x + 1)2

Answer 1

Answer: F(x)= -1/3x2-1

Explanation:

Answer 2

`f(x) = y \: \: \ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: {normal \: function} \\ f(x) = y - 1 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: func\: shifted \: down`

`f(x) = ( - 1)/(3) x {}^(2) \\ f(x) = ( - 1)/(3) x {}^(2) - 1`

Answer: C
