Question

Find g(x), where g(x) is the translation 8 units down of f(x)=x2.

Answer 1

Answer:

g(x) = x² - 8

g(x) = 1(x-0)² - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x²

we translate this parent function 8 units down thus:

g(x) = f(x) - 8

g(x) = x² - 8

in the form a( x - h)² + k:

g(x) = 1(x-0) - 8

k = (-8)

As the change is constant rather than the variable of the quantity of "x" It is a movement of the whole f(x) function eight units down.

h = 0

Because, there is no information about a stretchment of the parent function in g(x)
