Question

The graph shows g(x), which is a translation of f(x)=x^2. Write the function rule for g(x).
The graph shows a curved line that has a y-intercept at 7, and the two distinct points are (-1, 8) and (1, 8).
Write your answer in the form a(x–h)^2+k, where a, h, and k are integers or simplified fractions.

Answer 1

g(x) = 1(x − 0)^2 + 7, so g(x) = x^2 + 7.
