Suppose that g(x) = x2 - 5. Which statement best compares the graph of g(x)
with the graph of f(x) = x2?
O A. The graph of g(x) is shifted 5 units down.
O B. The graph of g(x) is shifted 5 units up.
O C. The graph of g(x) is shifted 5 units left.
O D. The graph of g(x) is shifted 5 units right.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

just think about it.

we are still calculating the original functional values, but now we are subtracting 5 from all of them.

what happens ?

all the functional values will decrease by 5 compared to the original function.

and what does it mean that the functional (y) value is lower ? the point goes down on the grid (in this case by 5 units).
