Question
The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below.
f(x) = 32x + 8
g(x) = 32x - 9
The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the graph of f(x) by _____ units.
is it -17 or 17

Answers
kind of a sneaky question.
The graph of g(x) is f(x)-17, so it is shifted -17 units.
But the question explicitly asks how many units <u>down</u> f has been shifted, so the answer is 17.
