Question

Graph g(x) = x2 +2 Compare the graph to the graph of f(x) = x2.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Remember that the parent graph f(x) = x², is a parabola that opens up and passes through the origin.

Notice that g(x) = x² + 2 has 2 added to the parent term.

This means that g(x) = x² + 2 is the graph of f(x) = x² translated two units up.
