Question

[09.01]

Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:
f(x) = x2
g(x) = x2 + 8x + 16
In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted to obtain g(x)? (1 point)
Group of answer choices

Left by 4 units

Right by 4 units

Left by 8 units

Right by 8 units

Answer 1

Right by 4 units

Thanks A lot but that was not the answer

Right by 4 units Hope this hell pit

Answer 2

Left 4 units.

Explanation:

g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 16 Factoring:

g(x) = (x + 4)^2.

So to obtain g(x) from f(x) = x^2, f(x) must be shifted 4 units to the left.
