Answer 2

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

f(x) = x^2
g(x) = x^2 + 8x + 16

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

Left by 4 units
Right by 4 units
Left by 8 units
Right by 8 units

Answer 3

option 1:
graph both equations and compare

option 2:
find the "vertex point" of each given equation and compare them

option 3:
convert g(x) into "vertex form" (but I'm not sure if you have learned this yet)
