Answer:

translation 3 units up: g(x) = f(x)+3

Explanation:

You are given graphs of f(x) and g(x) and want to know the transformation that gives g(x) from f(x).

Transformations of graphs

The sorts of transformations of graphs that we study are translation, scaling (horizontally or vertically), and reflection about an axis.

Here, both graphs have the same shape, but one is in a different place than the other. The applicable transformation is one of translation.

Translation

The vertex of f(x) is at (0, -1). The vertex of g(x) is at (0, 2). We note the x-value has not changed, but the y-value has had 3 added to it. (-1 +3 = 2)

g(x) = f(x) +3 . . . . . . the function f is translated 3 units upward.
