Question

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(t) = t^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(t) = (t – 8)^2. Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(t) and its image g(t).

Answer 1

Well, minusing 8 from every t just moved theh function to the right 8 units
it had no effect on the number of t intercepts (horizontal is t axis instaead of x axis)

originally, it has 1 t intercept at t=0
now it still has 1 t intercept, but now it is at t=8
