Answer: Given the graph of the function f(x) which is described by a parabola with the vertex at (0, 0) and the graph of the translated function g(x) which is described by a parabola with the vertex at (5, 2).

Notice, that the vertex of the translated function is 5 units to the right and 2 units up of the graph of f(x).

Thus, g(x) is obtained by translating the function f(x) 5 units to the right and 2 units up.

Recall that given a function described by a parabola with vertex at (h, k) as

A translation of a units to the right and b units up will result in

Therefore, the equation of the translated function, g(x) is given by
