In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x2 to the number of x-intercepts in

the graph of g(x) = -x2 -5. Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(x) and its image g(x).

Part (1):
To get the x-intercepts, we will need to equate the equation to zero and solve for x.
For the parent function, we have:
x² = 0
x = 0
Therefore, the function intersects the x-axis at one point which is the origin.

For the image function we have:
-x² - 5 = 0
x² = -5
x = √-5 which does not exist in real numbers
This means that the image function does not intersect the x-axis at all.

Based on the above, the parent function has one x-intercept while the image one doesn't have any x-intercepts.

Part (2):
I have attached the image containing the two functions , the parent one as well as the image.
As we can note, two changes occurred to the parent function in order to form the image:
1- The parabola was flipped to be pointing downwards instead of pointing upwards
2- The vertex was translated 5 units downwards to be at (0,-5) instead of (0,0)

x^2 only touches the x axis when x=0 and it increases without bound on either side of 0.

-x^2-5 never touches the x axis reaching a maximum at (0,-5) and decreasing without bound on either side of 0

g(x) is f(x) inverted and moved down five units...

Consider a circle whose size can vary. Let r represent the radius of the circle (in cm) and let C represent the circumference of
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

g (15) represents the radius (in cm) of a circle whose circumference is 15 cm

if g (a) = 15, then a represents the circumference (in cm) of a circle whose radius is 15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In a circle the following relationship can be posed:

C = 2 \pi r

Let g be a function that determines the radius of the circle from the value of its circumference, so, you have:

g (C) =\frac{C}{2\pi}

Thus, g (15) represents the radius (in cm) of a circle whose circumference is 15 cm. You have to g (15) =\frac{15}{2\pi}.

On the other hand, if g (a) = 15, then a represents the circumference (in cm) of a circle whose radius is 15cm. You have to a=2 \pi(15) = 30 \pi
