The graph of two functions, f(x) and g(x)=f(x+k)+k , is shown below. Determine the value of k

.

Two functions are graphed on a four quadrant coordinate plane. The horizontal x-axis goes from negative 6.5 to 9.5 in increments of 1 and the vertical y-axis goes from negative 9.5 to 6.5 in increments of 1. A V-shaped graph labeled f left parenthesis x right parenthesis that opens upward has a vertex at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and passes through left parenthesis negative 4 comma 2 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 4 comma 2 right parenthesis. A second V-shaped graph labeled g left parenthesis x right parenthesis that opens upward has a vertex plotted and labeled at left parenthesis 3 comma negative 3 right parenthesis and passes through the plotted and labeled points left parenthesis negative 3 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma negative StartFraction 3 over 2 EndFraction right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 9 comma 0 right parenthesis.

The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting the graph of f(x) to the left by k units and then shifting it up by k units.

Looking at the vertex of f(x) at (0, 0), we can see that the vertex of g(x) is at (3, -3). This means that the graph of g(x) is shifted to the left by 3 units and down by 3 units compared to the graph of f(x).

We also know that f(x) passes through the points (-4, 2) and (4, 2), and g(x) passes through the points (-3, 0) and (9, 0).

Since g(x) is a shifted version of f(x), we can determine the value of k by comparing the x-coordinates of the corresponding points on the two graphs.

The x-coordinate of (-3, 0) on g(x) corresponds to the x-coordinate of (-4, 2) on f(x), which means that g(-3) = f(-4). Since g(x) = f(x + k) + k, this can be written as:

f(-4) = f((-3) + k) + k

Similarly, the x-coordinate of (9, 0) on g(x) corresponds to the x-coordinate of (4, 2) on f(x), which means that g(9) = f(4). This can be written as:

f(4) = f((9) + k) + k

We can solve these equations to find the value of k.

f(-4) = f((-3) + k) + k
f(-4) = f(-3 + k) + k
f(-4) = f(-3 + k) + k
f(-4) = f(-3) + k

Since f(-4) = 2 and f(-3) = 0, we have:

2 = 0 + k
k = 2

f(4) = f((9) + k) + k
f(4) = f(9 + k) + k
f(4) = f(9) + k

Since f(4) = 2 and f(9) = 0, we have:

2 = 0 + k
k = 2

Therefore, the value of k is 2.
