Important: Please use " ^ " to indicate exponentiation:
"f(x) =x^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x) = x^2 +2."
Notes: the graph of f(x) = x^2 is a vertical parabola that opens up. It has its vertex at (0,0). This is the only point at which f(x)=x^2 has a horiz. intercept.
g(x) = x^2 + 2 has a graph that looks the same as that of f(x) = x^2, EXCEPT that the whole graph is moved 2 units UP. This new graph never touches or intersects the x-axis. Therefore, g(x) has NO horiz. intercepts (no x-int.).
