Answer: A horizontal translation 2 units to the left
In this case, we are changing the variable x before it is being squared. This will have the effect of changing the input of the function. Imagine input 2 into the equation. Your first step would be to add 2. Therefore, you would need to start with a negative 2 to get us back to 0, or the beginning.
Since -2 is to the left of 0, the graph is moving 2 units to the left.
42 is the answers I the problem
Begin by finding the lowest point the quadratic equation can be, the vertex;
x²-1= is just a translation down of the graph x²
vertex; (0, -1) and since the graph of x² would extend to infinity beyond that point, we can say {x| x≥0} for domain and {y| y≥-1}.
For the linear equation, it is possible to have all x and y values, therefore range and domain belong to all real numbers.
Hope I helped :)
