Review the graphs of f(x) = –x5 + 2x4 + 1 and g(x), which is a translation of f(x).

On a coordinate plane, g (x) curves down through (negative 3, 3) to (negative 2, 1) and then curves up to (negative 0.5, 3.8). It then curves down through (0, 0) into quadrant 4. y = f (x) curves down through (negative 1, 3) to (0, 1) and then curves up to (1.5, 3.8). It then curves down through (2, 0).

How can g(x) be expressed in terms of f(x)?

g(x) = (–x5 + 2x4 + 1) + 2
g(x) = –(x + 2)5 + 2(x + 2)4 + 1
g(x) = (–x5 + 2x4 + 1) – 2
g(x) = –(x – 2)5 + 2(x – 2)4 + 1

The translation is the process of moving a graph horizontally or vertically. To put it another way, each point on the parent graph is translated to the left, right, up, or down, to get the translated graph.

How do we solve the given question?

We know that g(x) is a transformation of f(x) = -x⁵ + 2x⁴ + 1.

Since, g(x) is the transformation of f(x) we try to find the relation between the points on f(x) and g(x).

Let the point on f(x) be (x₁, y₁) and that on g(x) be (x₂, y₂).

f(x) passes through the points (-1, 3), (0,1), (1.5, 3.8), and (2, 0).

Corresponding points on g(x) are (-3, 3), (-2, 1), (-0.5, 3.8), and (0, 0).

We can see that the y-coordinate is the same for corresponding points. So, y₂ = y₁.

For the x-coordinate, we see that for every corresponding point on g(x), it is 2 less than the point on f(x). So, x₂ = x₁ - 2.

Now, in the function f(x), we have x = x₁. So to find the function g(x), we substitute the value of x₂ = x₁ - 2 = x - 2 in f(x) to get the equation of g(x).

∴ g(x) = f(x-2)

or, g(x) = -(x - 2)⁵ +2(x - 2)⁴ + 1.

∴ The function g(x) can be represented in terms of f(x) like this:

g(x) = -(x - 2)⁵ +2(x - 2)⁴ + 1.

Hence, 4th option is the right choice.
