How does the graph of f(x) = (x - 9)^4 - 3 compare to the parent function g(x) = x^4?

There is translation to the right of 9 units, and it has moved down 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

When in the parenthesis (affected by the exponent), the number will either mean moving to the left or to the right. As it is a subtraction of 9, the graph moves to the right 9 units.

When outside the parenthesis (not affected by the exponent), the number will either mean moving up or down. In this case, as it is a subtraction of 3, the graph moves down 3 units.

I hope this helps!

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
