Question

Select the correct answer. The function g(x) = x2 is transformed to obtain function h: h(x) = g(x) − 5. Which statement describes how the graph of h is different from the graph of g? A. The graph of h is the graph of g horizontally shifted right 5 units. B. The graph of h is the graph of g horizontally shifted left 5 units. C. The graph of h is the graph of g vertically shifted up 5 units. D. The graph of h is the graph of g vertically shifted down 5 units.

Answer 1

D. The graph of h is the graph of g vertically shifted down 5 units.

Explanation:

I assume

g(x) = x²

h(x) = g(x) - 5 = x² - 5
