Question

Function g can be thought of as a translated (shifted) version of f(x)=x^2

Answer 1

g(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 5

Explanation:

Here the graph of y = x^2 has been shifted 4 units to the left and 5 units down (easily seen if you look at the graph whose vertex is in Quadrant 3).

Thus, f(x) = x^2 becomes g(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 5
