Question

Function g can be thought of as a scaled version of f(x)=x^2
write the equation for g(x)

Answer 1

g(x) = x² + 10x + 25

Explanation:

Comparing g(x) to f(x) :

• It has shifted 5 units left

Hence, the equation for g(x) :

• g(x) = f(x + 5)
• g(x) = (x + 5)²
• g(x) = x² + 10x + 25

Answer 2

Answer:
`f(x) = (x+5)^(2)`

Explanation:

the graph is shifted 5 units left

`f(x) = (x+5)^(2)`

to check, set x + 5 = 0 and your x value equals -5, which correlates on the graph as well.
