Question

The graph of f(x) = x^2 is shifted 3 units to the right to obtain the graph of g(x). Which of the following equations best describes g(x)?

g(x) = (x + 3)^2
g(x) = x^2 − 3
g(x) = x^2 + 3
g(x) = (x − 3)^2

Answer 1

The answer is D.

The phrase "three units to the right" shows that it is the roots of the solution, making it g(x) - (x - 3)².
