Question

9. (09.01 LC) The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below: If f(x) = (x + 7)^2, which of the following is g(x) based on the translation? (5 points)

g(x) = (x + 9)^2
g(x) = (x + 5)^2
g(x) = (x − 9)^2
g(x) = (x − 5)^2

Answer 1

Hey there! :)

Answer:

g(x) = (x + 9)²

Explanation:

If we look at the graph g(x), we can see that its vertex is at (-9, 0).

Recall the transformation form of a parabola is f(x) = ±a(b(x-h))+k where (h , k) are the coordinates of the vertex. In this instance it is (-9, 0), therefore:

g(x) = (x + 9)²
