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.

Answer 1

I think the answer is 17

Answer 2

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 down f has been shifted, so the answer is 17
