Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The equation of the parent function f(x) (red graph) is
This is a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex is the point (0,0) (the origin)
The function g(x) (blue graph) is a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex is the point (-5,0)
The transformation of f(x) to g(x) has the following rule
f(x) -----> g(x)
(0,0) ----> (-5,0)
(x,y) ----> (x-5,y)
That means----> The transformation is a translation of 5 units at left
therefore
The equation of g(x) is
To get the graph to have one x-intercept, we must find the m value where the discriminant of the equation will equal 0.
The discriminant for a graph with one x-intercept is found with the following formula:
Plug in the values of the equation into this formula:
Add 144 to both sides:
Square root both sides to get m by itself:
In order for the graph to have one x-intercept, m must equal -12 or 12.
