What value represents the vertical translation from the graph of the parent function f of x is equal to x squared to the graph of the function g of x is equal to open paren x plus 5 close paren squared plus 3 ?
Answer
A
negative 5
B
3
C
5
D
negative 3
Explanation
In g(x) = (x + 5)² + 3, the +3 is outside the squared expression, so it shifts the parent graph vertically upward by 3 units. The vertical translation is 3, choice A.
