Using translation concepts, it is found that the option that describes the graph of [tex]y = -\frac{1}{4}\arccos{(x - 3)} + 1[/tex] compared to the graph of [tex]y = \arccos{x}[/tex] is:
- Vertical Stretch of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], a reflection about the x-axis, a vertical translation of 1 up, and a horizontal translation of 3 right.
The parent function is:
[tex]y = \arccos{x}[/tex]
What is a translation?
- A translation is represented by a change in the function graph, according to operations such as multiplication or sum/subtraction in it's definition.
In this problem:
- First, the function was multiplied by [tex]-\frac{1}[4}[/tex], hence it was vertically strech by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex], which is the same as a compression, and reflected over the x-axis.
- [tex]x \rightarrow x - 3[/tex], hence, it was shifted horizontally 3 units to the right.
- 1 was added, hence it was shifted vertically 1 unit up.
