Question

Below is the graph of y = g(x)

Answer 1

Instead of y = g(x)^2, it should be y = g(x)+2

What this means that every point on g(x) will be shifted up 2 units. A point like (2,-1) which is the saddle point shown on the graph, will move up to (2,1) after you shift up 2 units. Every other point will follow the same path. Another example: The point (0,-5) -- which is the y intercept -- will move up to (0,-3).
