Question

For the quadratic function, identify any horizontal or vertical translations. Enter "0" and "none" if there is none.f(x) = (x + 5)² - 4Horizontal:__ units to the (Select an answer (right, left, none)Vertical:__ units to the (Select an answer ( up, down, none)

Answer 1

Given:

`f(x)=(x+5)^2-4`

The parent function of the given function (x²)

We will find the horizontal or vertical translations to get the given function.

the general form of the translation will be as follows:

`f(x\pm a)\pm b`

Where (a) is the horizontal translation and (b) is the vertical translation

Comparing the given equation to the formula:

`a=5,b=-4`

So, the answer will be:

Horizontal: 5 units to the left

Vertical: 4 units down
