Question

The graph of g(x) resembles the graph of f(x=x)^2, but it has been changed. Which of these is the equation of g(x)?

Answer 1

A. g(x) + 3/5x^2 - 3

Explanation:

Well we can tell that the parabola is wider than its parent function "y=x^2",

Meaning x is now a fraction or a decimal less than 1.

So we can eliminate choices B and D.

Also we can see that the y intercept is at -3 because thats where the parabola touches the y axis.

Thus,

the answer is choice A.
`g(x) + (3)/(5) x^2 - 3`.

Hope this helps :)
