Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the blue graph shifted up by 1 unit, it would be +1 at the end of the quadratic function. Then, because the graph also shifted to the right 2 units, the blue graph subtracts from f(x)=x^2 (it does the opposite).

Answer: g(x) = (x-2)^2 + 1. Choice C

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The graphs have the same shape, which means they have the same 'a' value.

In this case, a = 1.

The vertex of the red graph is (0,0).

The vertex of the blue parabola is (2, 1)

The red curve has been shifted 2 units to the right and 1 unit up.

Since the vertex of the blue graph is (2,1), this means h = 2 and k = 1.

Plug a = 1, h = 2 and k = 1 to get...

y = a(x-h)^2 + k

y = 1(x-2)^2 + 1

g(x) = (x-2)^2 + 1
