A: g(x) = (x – 4)2 + 6
B: g(x) = (x + 6)2 – 4
C: g(x) = (x – 6)2 – 4
D:g(x) = (x + 4)2 + 6

Answer 1

All of these would be translated versions of f(x).

A translated version is simply one in which the base equation is used and then moved. Each of these equations are quadratics with a starting term of x^2. All of them move up and down or side to side in some way and direction, but all of them would be translated versions of that graph.
