Question

PLEASE HELP f(x)=x^2 and g(x)=(x-3)^2+2 Describe how the graph of g(x) relates to the graph of its parent function, f(x). (HINT: Think about how f(x) was shifted to get g(x))

Answer 1

The graph f(x) was shifted 3 units to the right and shifted 2 units up to get the graph of g(x).

Explanation:

From the original graph to the transformed one, we can see that the transformations (x - 3) and + 2 were added to the equation.

The (x - 3) means that the x-value of the vertex will increase by 3, meaning that the graph will shift 3 units to the right.

The +2 will increase the y-value of the vertex by 2, meaning that the graph will move up 2 units.

So, the graph of g(x) relates to f(x) as it is a transformation 3 units to the right and 2 units upwards.
