Based on the description of the graph you've provided, it appears to yield a U-shaped curve, typical of quadratic functions. The points you've noted suggest a particular transformation.

Let's analyze each option:

  1. Parent function: \( y = x^2 \) and transformed function: \( y = x^2 + 1 \)

    • The transformation \( y = x^2 + 1 \) shifts the entire graph of \( y = x^2 \) upward by 1 unit. This means that the vertex would move from (0,0) to (0,1). The given point (0,1) supports this, but the other points do not match with this transformation since the parabola would remain symmetric around the y-axis.
  2. Parent function: \( y = x^2 + 1 \) and transformed function: \( y = x^2 \)

    • Here, \( y = x^2 \) represents a function that moves down 1 unit to have its vertex at (0,0), which does not match your points exactly, especially not (0,1).
  3. Parent function: \( y = x^2 \) and transformed function: \( y = (x + 1)^2 \)

    • The transformation \( y = (x + 1)^2 \) represents a leftward shift of the parabola by 1 unit, giving the vertex at (-1,0). From the points you provided, the vertex location doesn't match, but (0,1) suggests the possible presence of a further upward transformation.

Thus, we need to determine what would map the vertex and what transformations apply to the points you provided:

  • The point \( (0,1) \) suggests a vertical shift upwards.
  • The points \( (-1,2) \) and \( (1,2) \) indicate that it is symmetrical about the y-axis, shifting the vertex upwards (1) and left to -1.

Conclusively, the transformation that best resembles the description of the graph with the given points is:

Parent function: \( y = x^2 \) and transformed function: \( y = (x+1)^2 + 1 \)

This would give the correct vertex and outputs for a symmetrical upward opening parabola while considering the described points. If you could clarify the points and their arrangement, we'd narrow it down even more accurately!
