Question 6 (1 point)

[09.01]
Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:
f(x) = x2
g(x) = x2 - 8x + 16
In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted to obtain g(x)? (1 point)
A-Left by 4 units
B-Right by 4 units
C-Left by 8 units
D-Right by 8 units

Answer 1

for everybody saying 4 units, THIS IS WRONG!!!

THE CORRECT ANSWER IS LEFT 8 UNITS

Explanation:

x^2 - 8x + 16

so we already know that this is a horizontal shift, now just add -8 and 16

-8+16 = 8 and then we can rewrite the equation as:

x^2 + 8x

Answer 2

C right by 4 units is the correct answer
