Question

The function f(x) = x2. The graph of g(x) is f(x) translated to the left 6 units and down 5 units. What is the function rule for g(x)?

A. g(x) = (x + 6)2 - 5

B. g(x) = (x - 5)2 + 6

C. g(x) = (x - 6)2 + 5

D. g(x) = (x + 5)2 - 6

Answer 1

a. g(x) = (x+6)^2-5
because p value is -6 (- and - make +) and q value is -5 (+ and - make -).

Answer 2

g(x) = (x + 6)^2 - 5
