Question

The function f(x) = x2 is translated 7 units to the left and 3 units down to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)? g(x) = (x − 7)2 − 3 g(x) = (x + 7)2 − 3 g(x) = (x − 3)2 − 7 g(x) = (x − 3)2 + 7

Answer 1

Answer:

g(x)=(x+7)^2-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)= x^2

Now we have to translate f(x) 7 units to the left and 3 units down to form the function g(x).

As per the rules of translation

when any parent function, in given case f(x)=x^2, is translated to 'a' units to the left then 'a' is added to the value of x. thus making f(x+a)

Also when the parent function is translated any 'a' units down then 'a' is subtracted from the value of function. thus making f(x)-a

Translating f(x), 7 units to the left

f(x+7)= (x+7)^2

Translating f(x+7), 3 units down

f(x+7)-3 = (x+7)^2-3

Hence new function g(x)=(x+7)^2-3!
