The graph of f(x) = 0.5x is replaced by the graph of g(x) = 0.5x + k. If g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) up by 5 units, then what is the value of k?

A. k=-5
B. k=-1/5
C. k=5
D. k=1/5

Respuesta :

Answer:

C.   k = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is moved k ( = 5) units upwards.

k = 5 is the answer.

What is the shifting of graphs?

Suppose g is a function and a > 0. Define functions h and f by

h(x) = g(x) + a and f(x) = g(x) − a.

Then,

The graph of h is obtained by shifting the graph of g up 'a' units

The graph of f is obtained by shifting the graph of g down 'a' units.

The solution to the problem

We are given g(x) = f(x) +k and have been told that g(x) is obtained when we shift f(x) by 5 units.

Using the definition of shifting up in the above section, we can say that g(x)= f(x)+5, and g(x) = f(x) + k and by comparing we can say that k = 5.

Hence the value of k = 5.
