Question

The graphs below have the same shape. What is the equation of the red

graph?
f(x) = 4 – x²
g(x) = ?
O A. g(x) = (7 - x)2
O B. g(x) = 1 - x2
O C. g(x) = 7 - x2
D. g(x) = (1 - x)2

Answer 1

Answer: B: g(x) = 1 - x2

Step-by-step explanation: It is the mathematical solution ☝

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The red graph is obtained by shifting the graph of f(x) = 4 - x² upwards by some amount. We can see that the highest point on the red graph occurs at x = 0, where the value is 4.

To shift the graph of f(x) upwards by 3 units, we can add 3 to the entire function:

f(x) + 3 = 4 - x² + 3

= 7 - x²

So the equation of the red graph is:

g(x) = 7 - x²

Therefore, the correct answer is option C: g(x) = 7 - x².
