Question

The vertex form of a function is g(x) = (x - 3)2 + 9. How does the graph of g(x) compare to the graph of the function

Rx) = x2?
O g(x) is shifted 3 units left and 9 units up.
g(x) is shifted 3 units right and 9 units up.
O g(x) is shifted 9 units left and 3 units down.
O g(x) is shifted 9 units right and 3 units down.

Answer 1

Its the second choice.

Explanation:

g(x) = (x - 3)^2 + 9

The -3 in the parentheses moves the graph of x^2 3 units to the right.

The + 9 moves it upwards 9 units.
