Question

Can someone please help?

Answer 1

Answer:

f(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Parent function: f(x) = x^2

To show this in a way that may look more familiar, f(x) = 1(x - 0)^2 + 0

Vertex form: f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

We know a = 1, because the slope is the same as the parent function.

Vertex: (h,k)

We can see that the vertex of the graph is (-4, -5)

So h = -4 and k = -5

Now all we need to do is plug the variables into our equation.

f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k

f(x) = 1(x + 4)^2 - 5

f(x) = (x + 4)^2 - 5
