The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are shown below: If f(x) = (x + 7)2, which of the following is g(x) based on the translation?

first of all what kind of translation are we looking at

OpenStudy (thereisnousername):

you have two graphs there one looks like the graph of \(y=(x+7)^2\) and the other is the graph of \(y=(x+9)^2\)

OpenStudy (sachintha):

It should be \(y=(x+5)^2\)

OpenStudy (thereisnousername):

multiply out g(x)=(x+9)^2

OpenStudy (thereisnousername):

and you should get g(x) = x2 + 18x + 81

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

these are the answer choices g(x) = (x + 9)2 g(x) = (x + 5)2 g(x) = (x − 9)2 g(x) = (x − 5)2

OpenStudy (sachintha):

Since the graph has moved two units to the right, \(g(x)=(x+7-2)^2=(x+5)^2\)

OpenStudy (thereisnousername):

then you dont have to multiply the 2, just go a step up where i said you then have g(x)=(x+9)^2

OpenStudy (datman21328):

Yes g(x) has a horizontal translation 2 spaces to the right compared to f(x) And the answer is G(x)=(x-5)^2

OpenStudy (dancergirl45):

You guys gave me 3 different answer choices

OpenStudy (thereisnousername):

no, i thought you wanted the complete answer so i went from g(x)=(x+9)^2 to g(x) = x2 + 18x + 81, if you dont need the complete answer then the one you do need is right there ^^^
