Question

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below:

graph of function f(x) open upward and has its vertex at (-7, 0). Graph of function g(x) opens upward and has its vertex at (-7,-2).

If f(x) = (x + 7)^2, which of the following is g(x) based on the translation?
g(x) = (x + 9)^2
g(x) = (x + 5)^2
g(x) = (x + 7)^2 + 2
g(x) = (x + 7)^2 − 2

Answer 2

some one help FAN AND MEDAL

Answer 3

Where are the "graphs" of f(x) and g(x)?

Answer 4

Srry thats the graph...

Answer 6

So what are your thoughts regarding this problem? How much of this do you already understand and how far have you gotten in your attempts to find the equation for g(x)?

Answer 7

i have attempted many times and i do not know like anything about this problem or how to do it

Answer 8

if you could explain that would be awesome

Answer 9

Well, let's start with figuring out where the points are in relation to each graph. We know that (-7,0) is on the graph of f(x). And (-7,-2) is on the graph of g(x). Do you think you can describe where (-7,-2) is in relation to (-7,0)?

Answer 10

the x values

Answer 11

?

Answer 12

If you were to plot each point on an xy plane, you'd see that (-7,-2) is two units below (-7,0).

Answer 13

ahhhh so D?

Answer 14

According to the question asked in the problem, g(x) is a "translation" of f(x) so all we need to do is find the equivalent of that for the equation of f(x).

Answer 15

Yes, D is correct.
