f(x) = x² + 5 (option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x²

The function shifted up 5 units means we are doing a vertical translation of 5 unit

A vertcal translation is in the form:

f(x) + d (if moving up)

f(x) - d (if moving down)

d = number of movements

d= 5

The translation of f(x) becomes:

f(x) = x² + 5 (option A)
