Question

G(x)=(x-8)^2+4 identify the transformations from the parent function

Answer 1

➜ Four units upwards

➜ Eight units to the right

Explanation:

The parent function of g(x) = (x - 8)² + 4 is f(x) = x². This function is transformed by f(x) = a(x − h)² + k where a is the amplitude, h is the shift left and right, and k is the shift up and down.

We will look at the function and list the transformations.

g(x) = (x - 8)² + 4

➜ Four units upwards (+ 4)

➜ Eight units to the right (-(-8) = +8)
