Question

@terenzreignz
Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:

f(x) = x2
g(x) = x2 + 10x + 25

In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted to obtain g(x)?

Right by 5 units

Left by 5 units

Right by 10 units

Left by 10 units

Answer 1

Okay, can you factor g(x)?

Answer 2

@terenzreignz X2+10X+25?

Answer 3

There's no need to tag me if I'm already here, and just call me TJ ^_^

Anyway, yes, that function.... can you factor it?

Answer 4
