Question

The graph of f(x) = x2 is translated to form g(x) = (x – 5)2 + 1.

On a coordinate plane, a parabola, labeled f of x, opens up. It goes through (negative 2, 4), has a vertex at (0, 0), and goes through (2, 4).

To determine which graph represents \( g(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 1 \), we need to understand the transformations applied to the original function \( f(x) = x^2 \).

1. **Vertex Translation**:
- The original parabola \( f(x) = x^2 \) has a vertex at (0, 0).
- The transformation \( g(x) = (x - 5)^2 + 1 \) means the parabola is shifted to the right by 5 units and up by 1 unit.
- Consequently, the vertex of \( g(x) \) is at \( (5, 1) \).

2. **Direction of Opening**:
- Since the leading coefficient of \( (x - 5)^2 \) is positive, the parabola opens upward.

3. **Points on the Graph**:
- To find additional points on the graph of \( g(x) \), we can calculate:
- When \( x = 5 \), \( g(5) = (5 - 5)^2 + 1 = 1 \) (the vertex).
- When \( x = 4 \), \( g(4) = (4 - 5)^2 + 1 = 2 \).
- When \( x = 6 \), \( g(6) = (6 - 5)^2 + 1 = 2 \).
- When \( x = 3 \), \( g(3) = (3 - 5)^2 + 1 = 5 \).
- When \( x = 7 \), \( g(7) = (7 - 5)^2 + 1 = 5 \).

Based on this information, we now check the options provided:

1. **First Option**:
- Vertex at \( (5, 1) \), goes through \( (2, 10) \) and \( (8, 10) \). **This option seems to match** as it has the vertex at (5, 1).

2. **Second Option**:
- Vertex at \( (5, -11) \). **Does not match**.

3. **Third Option**:
- Vertex at \( (-5, 1) \). **Does not match**.

4. **Fourth Option**:
- Vertex at \( (-5, -11) \). **Does not match**.

**Conclusion**: The graph representing \( g(x) \) is the **first option**, which has a vertex at \( (5, 1) \) and opens upward, consistent with the transformations applied to \( f(x) \).
