Question

Using the graphs f(x)=x2 as a guide, describe the transformation of g(x)=(x+1)2-2 by filling in the blanks below

Answer 1

Solution:

Given:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=x^2 \\ g(x)=(x+1)^2-2 \end{gathered}$

The function g(x) was transformed 1 unit left.

The resulting function was then transformed 2 units down.

Therefore, the function g(x) has been transformed from f(x) by shifting 1 unit left and 2 units down.
