question 80

Multiple Choice

Compare the graph of $p ( x ) = \left[ - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ( x + 9 ) \right] ^ { 2 } - 9$ with $p ( x ) = x ^ { 2 }$ .

• A) \(p ( x ) = \left[ - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ( x + 9 ) \right] ^ { 2 } - 9\) shifts right 9 units, shifts downward 9 units, and shrinks by a factor of \(- \frac { 1 } { 9 }\).
• B) \(p ( x ) = \left[ - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ( x + 9 ) \right] ^ { 2 } - 9\) shifts right 81 units, shifts upward 9 units, and shrinks by a factor of \(\frac { 1 } { 9 }\).
• C) \(p ( x ) = \left[ - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ( x + 9 ) \right] ^ { 2 } - 9\) shifts left 9 units, shifts downward 9 units, and shrinks by a factor of \(\frac { 1 } { 9 }\).
• D) \(p ( x ) = \left[ - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ( x + 9 ) \right] ^ { 2 } - 9\) shifts right 9 units, shifts upward 9 units, and shrinks by a factor of \(\frac { 1 } { 9 }\).
• E) \(p ( x ) = \left[ - \frac { 1 } { 3 } ( x + 9 ) \right] ^ { 2 } - 9\) shifts left 81 units, shifts upward 9 units, and shrinks by a factor of \(- \frac { 1 } { 3 }\).
