Question

The graph of h is a translation 4 units right and 1 unit down of the graph of f(x) = x².

What is the vertex form of this function?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

B. h(x) = (x -4)² -1

Explanation:

The translation moved the vertex from (0, 0) to (4, -1). The vertex form equation is ...

h(x) = (x -h)² +k . . . . . quadratic with vertex (h, k)

Filling in the values of the vertex, we get ...

h(x) = (x -4)² -1
