Question

@mathlete I need help with this
Determine the equation of g(x) that results from translating the function f(x)=(x+8)^2

A g(x)=(x-4)^2
B g(x)=(x+20)^2
C g(x)=(x+8)^2 -12
D g(x)=(x+8)^2 +12

Answer 1

does it give instructions like "translating up, right, left ,down to xxx units"?

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

then does the question has a graph

Answer 4

hold please

Answer 5

no graph

Answer 6

oh, to the right 12 units

Answer 7

then g(x) = f(x-12)
can you evaluate that?

Answer 8

f(x-12) = ((x-12) + 8)^2
