Question

Using the graph of f(x)=x^2 as a guide describe the transformations and then sketch a graph of each function g(x)=(x-5)^2

Answer 1

1) In comparison to that parent function y =x², in g(x) = (x-5)² we have a horizontal translation to the right. in 5 units.

2) As we can see below:

Note that the Potting tool expands the (x-5)².
