Question

Graph the function. Decsribe how it was translated from fig=%.f(x)=x2-8

Answer 1

The original function is given by the expression:

$g(x)=x^2$

It is subtracted by 8, on such cases the function is translated eight units down. Therefore the graph will be a parabola with the concavity up, but with the vertex on -8. The graph of the translated figure is shown below.
