Which of the following statements is true of the function ? Question 2 options: A) g(x) can be graphed by translating the basic rational function ƒ(x) 1∕x right by 3 units and downward by 5 units. B) g(x) can be graphed by translating the basic rational function ƒ(x) 1∕x left by 3 units and downward by 5 units. C) g(x) can be graphed by translating the basic rational function ƒ(x) 1∕x right by 3 units and downward by 5 units. D) g(x) can be graphed by translating the basic rational function ƒ(x) 1∕x left by 5 units and downward by 3 units.

Transformations are operators that can act on functions, modifying them in different ways. In this particular problem, we see the translations.

The correct option is B:

g(x) can be graphed by translating the basic rational function ƒ(x)=  1∕x left by 3 units and downward by 5 units.

Let's describe the general translations:

Horizontal translation:

For a general function f(x), a horizontal translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x + N)

If N is positive, the translation is to the left.

If N is negative, the translation is to the right

Vertical translation:

For a general function f(x), a vertical translation of N units is written as:

g(x) = f(x) + N

If N is positive, the translation is upwards.

If N is negative, the translation is downwards.

Now that we know this, let's see the problem.

We have:

So, the original function is:

Now from f(x) we can apply translations to create g(x).

If first we apply a translation of 3 units to the left, we get:

If now we apply a translation of 5 units downwards, we get:

So we can conclude that the correct option is B:

g(x) can be graphed by translating the basic rational function ƒ(x) 1∕x left by 3 units and downward by 5 units.

step-by-step explanation:

given: the mass of saturn=

the mass of mercury=

the number of times the mass of saturn is greater than the mass of mercury

hence, the mass of saturn is 1722 times greater than the mass of mercury.
