Question

Which function has a translation of 3 units to the left?

A) F(x)=(x+1)^2-3
B) F(x)=(x+3)^2+1
C) F(x)=3x^2+1
D) F(x)=(x-3)^2+1

Answer 1

The function that has a translation of 3 units to the left is F(x)=(x-3)^2+1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that has a translation of 3 units to the left is F(x)=(x-3)^2+1. By subtracting 3 from the x-coordinate, the entire graph of the function shifts 3 units to the left. The other options do not have a translation of 3 units to the left.
