Question

The following graph shows the functions f(x) and g(x): graph of function f of x equals x squared and graph of function g of x equals x squared plus 5 The function g(x) is obtained by adding _______ to f(x). (only input integers) Numerical Answers Expected! Answer for Blank 1:

Answer 1

The function of g(x) is obtained by adding 5 to f(x). The two functions are the same apart from the '+5' y-intercept.

Answer 2

f(x) = x^2
g(x) = x^2+5
g(x) = f(x)+5

We see that g(x) is basically f(x) but we add on 5. So 5 will go in the blank.
