The graph shows g(x), which is a translation of f(x)=x2. Write the function rule for g(x).

The function on the graph went down to -3 on the y axis

If the parabola's lowest point (vertex) is at (0, −3) — i.e. it was f(x)=x^2 shifted down 3 units — then
g(x) = x^2 − 3.

This comes from moving f(x)=x^2 down by 3: subtract 3 from the function. If the graph shows a different horizontal shift, tell me the vertex coordinates and I’ll adjust the rule.
