Question

Select the correct answer.
Which function is a horizontal translation of the parent quadratic function, f(x)=x^2
A. j(x)= x^2- 4
B. g(x)= (x-4)^2
C. k(x)= -x^2
D. h(x)= 4x^2

Answer 1

g(x)= (x-4)^2

Explanation:

Plato/Edmentum

Answer 2

B

Explanation:

When we have a horizontal translation on the x-axis, it means the translation in question would be affecting only the x component of our function

With respect to the question, what we have here is that we are going to take out some values from x (or add some values) to it

Thus;

f(x) = x^2 would be;

g(x) = (x-4)^2

Corresponding to a shift to the right of upto 4 units on the x axis
