7.
Which equation describes the transformation of shifting f(x)=x$^{3}$ four units down?
A) X$^{3}$+ 4.
B) (x-4)$^{3}$.
C) (x + 4)$^{3}$.
D) X$^{3}$-4.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The transformation of shifting the function \(f(x) = x^3\) four units down is correctly described by option D, which is \(x^3 - 4\). When a function is shifted vertically downward, you subtract from the entire function. Here, subtracting 4 from \(x^3\) moves every point on the graph of \(f(x)\) down by 4 units.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Adding 4 to the function would shift it up, not down.
Option B:
Shifting horizontally involves changing the input (x), not the output. This option shifts the graph right by 4 units instead of moving it vertically.
Option C:
Adding 4 to the input would shift the function left, which is incorrect for a vertical shift down.
Option D:
Correctly represents shifting \(f(x) = x^3\) four units downward by subtracting 4 from the output.

A) It is shifted 3 units up.
B) It is shifted 3 units down.
C) It is shifted 3 units right.
D) It is shifted 3 units left.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The graph of \( y = 2x^2 + 3 \) is a vertical shift of the graph of \( y = 2x^2 \) by 3 units up. This means every point on the original parabola \( y = 2x^2 \) moves 3 units higher to form the new parabola.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. The graph of \( y = 2x^2 + 3 \) is shifted 3 units up from the graph of \( y = 2x^2 \).

This process involves each point of the figure being mapped to a corresponding point on the opposite side of the line such that the line acts as the perpendicular bisector of the segment joining the original and reflected points.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Translation moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. Not flipping.
Option B:
Rotation turns a figure around a fixed point or axis. Not flipping over a line.
Option C:
Dilation changes the size of a figure by scaling it from a center point, not flipping it over a line.
Option D:
Correct. Reflection flips a figure over a line.
14.
State the coordinate of the image of the given point B (-10, -6) under a dilation with center at the origin with the given scale factor k = 1/2.
A) (20, 12).
B) (-5, -3).

Option C:
Incorrect. Multiplying by \( k = \frac{1}{2} \) results in coordinates of (-5, -3), not (5, 3).
Option D:
Incorrect. Multiplying by \( k = \frac{1}{2} \) results in coordinates of (-5, -3), not (-20, -12).
15.

A) Potential energy.
B) Thermal energy.
C) Electrical energy.
D) Kinetic energy.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state, which explains why a drawn bow has potential energy. When the bow is drawn, it stores elastic potential energy that can be released as kinetic energy when the arrow is shot.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Energy stored in a drawn bow is potential energy due to its position.
Option B:
Incorrect. Thermal energy relates to heat, not the elastic state of the bow.

Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Energy cannot be created or destroyed according to the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Option B:
Incorrect. "Saved" is not a term used in this context; energy can transform but does not get saved in the same sense as in financial terms.
Option C:
Incorrect. Both "destroyed" and "destroyed" are redundant and do not accurately describe what happens to energy according to the Law of Conservation of Energy.
Option D:
Incorrect. "Lost" is a term that can be misleading in this context, as it implies energy disappears, which does not occur; instead, it transforms into another form.
18.
Energy of motion is known as-
A) Potential energy.
B) Kinetic energy.
C) Elastic energy.

Option Analysis:
Option A:
This is not a function because the input 3 corresponds to two different outputs (4 and 8).
Option B:
This is not a function because the input 9 corresponds to two different outputs (5 and -5), as does the input 10.
Option C:
As explained, this is a function due to unique mappings of x-values to y-values.
Option D:
This is not a function because the input 5 corresponds to two different outputs (-7 and 9).
20.

What does the 3 do in the equation:$f\left(x\right)=\left(3x\right)^2$
A) Horizontal compression by 3.
B) Vertical compression by 3.
C) Vertical stretch by 3.
D) Horizontal stretch by 3.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The number 3 in the equation \(f(x) = (3x)^2\) represents a horizontal compression by a factor of 3. This is because when you multiply the input variable \(x\) by 3, it compresses the graph horizontally towards the y-axis.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. The number 3 causes a horizontal compression.
Option B:
Incorrect. Vertical compression would involve multiplying the output of the function by a factor less than 1, not the input variable.
Option C:
Incorrect. This would be represented if the equation were \(f(x) = 3 \cdot (x^2)\), where 3 is outside the parentheses and multiplies the entire output of the function.
Option D:
Incorrect. Horizontal stretch would involve dividing the input variable by a number greater than 1, not multiplying it by one.
22.
On a roller coaster, where is maximum kinetic energy?
A) When going upside down.
B) When going around a corner.
C) At the top of a big hill.
D) At the bottom of a big hill.

A) Bigger.
B) Smaller.
C) All the above.
D) None of the above.
Show Answer
Explanations:
When the scale factor in a dilation is greater than 1, the image gets bigger because each dimension of the figure is increased by that factor.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Correct. Scale factors greater than 1 result in an enlargement of the original figure.
Option B:
Incorrect. Scale factors greater than 1 do not make the image smaller; they enlarge it.
Option C:
Incorrect. Only Option A is correct for scale factors greater than 1.
Option D:
Incorrect. There is a correct answer among the options provided.
24.
The original figure in a transformation.
A) Preimage.

Show Answer
Explanations:
The campfire (Option B) is correct because it demonstrates the transformation of chemical energy stored in wood into light and heat through combustion.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Toaster converts electrical energy to heat and light, not a chemical transformation.
Option B:
Campfire correctly shows chemical (wood) transforming into light & heat via combustion.
Option C:
Hamburger does not involve significant chemical-to-light/heat transformation; it's primarily a food item.
Option D:
Iron is a metal and does not undergo the described transformation in typical scenarios.
26.
Name the vertices of the following points when they have translated 2 units to the right and 5 units down. A ( 4, 1)
A) A' (2, 6).
B) A' ( 6, -4).
C) A' (2, -4).
D) A' (6, 6).
Show Answer
Explanations:
To find the new coordinates after translating a point, we adjust its x-coordinate by adding the number of units moved to the right and its y-coordinate by subtracting the number of units moved down.
For point A (4, 1), moving 2 units to the right means adding 2 to the x-coordinate: \(4 + 2 = 6\).
Moving 5 units down means subtracting 5 from the y-coordinate: \(1 - 5 = -4\).
Thus, the new coordinates are A' (6, -4).
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect. Adding 2 to 4 gives 6, not 2.
Option B:
Correct. Adding 2 to 4 and subtracting 5 from 1 results in (6, -4).
Option C:
Incorrect. Subtracting 5 from 1 gives -4, but adding 2 to 4 should give 6.
Option D:
Incorrect. Adding 2 to 4 and subtracting 5 from 1 does not result in (6, 6).
27.
A transformation that changes the size of a figure, but not the shape
A) Rotation.
B) Reflection.
C) Dilation.
D) Translation.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Dilation is the correct answer because it changes the size of a figure while maintaining its shape, which aligns with the question's description.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Rotation involves turning a figure around a point without changing its size or shape.
Option B:
Reflection is flipping a figure over a line of symmetry, preserving its size and shape.
Option C:
Dilation scales the figure by a factor, increasing or decreasing its size while keeping the shape similar.
Option D:
Translation moves a figure without rotating, reflecting, or changing its size, only shifting it to a new position.
28.
Select the correct definition of a rotation.
A) Reflecting a figure about a point.
B) Turning a figure about a point.
C) Turning a figure about an axis.
D) Spinning a figure about a point.
Show Answer
Explanations:
Turning a figure about a point (Option B) accurately describes the process of rotation in geometry. A rotation involves moving each point of a shape around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation, by a certain angle.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Reflecting a figure about a point refers to flipping the figure over a line (not a point), which is different from rotation.
Option B:
Correct. Turning a figure about a point describes the essence of rotation.
Option C:
Turning a figure about an axis implies movement around a line, not necessarily a point, making it incorrect for describing rotation.
Option D:
Spinning a figure about a point is essentially synonymous with Option B and accurately describes the concept of rotation.
29.
How did we transform from the parent function?g(x) =-1/5(x-1)$^{2}$ + 7
A) Reflection across the y-axis, vertical compression by 1/5, right 1, up 7.
B) Reflection across the x-axis, vertical compression by 1/5, right 1, up 7.
C) Reflection across the y-axis, vertical stretch by 1/5, right 1, up 7.
D) Reflection across the y-axis, vertical compression by 1/5, left 1, down 7.
Show Answer
Explanations:
The function \(g(x) = -\frac{1}{5}(x-1)^2 + 7\) involves several transformations from the parent quadratic function \(f(x) = x^2\). First, there is a vertical compression by a factor of \(\frac{1}{5}\), which means every y-value of the original function is multiplied by \(\frac{1}{5}\). Second, the negative sign in front of \(\frac{1}{5}\) indicates a reflection across the x-axis. Third, there is a horizontal shift to the right by 1 unit because of \(x-1\), and finally, there is an upward vertical shift by 7 units due to the +7 at the end.
Option Analysis:
Option A:
Incorrect; no reflection across y-axis.
Option B:
Correct; includes all transformations mentioned above.
Option C:
Incorrect; vertical stretch by \(\frac{1}{5}\) is not a compression, and the direction of shift is incorrect.
Option D:
Incorrect; reflection across y-axis is missing, and the direction of shift is incorrect.
