Question

The graph of g(x) is a translation of the function f(x) = x2. The vertex of g(x) is located 5 units above and 7 units to the right of the vertex of f(x). Which equation represents g(x)?

g(x) = (x + 7)2 + 5
g(x) = (x – 7)2 + 5
g(x) = (x + 5)2 + 7
g(x) = (x – 5)2 + 7

Answer 1

Its B.

Explanation:

Answer 2

g(x) = (x - 7)² + 5

Explanation:

Since it is going 7 to the right, we have to subtract by 7 in the equation like this: (x - 7)²

Think of it like x becoming positive 7 to cancel out the negative 7

We also add 5 to the whole equation
