Quadratic Functions: Vertex Form

Question 4 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What value represents the horizontal translation from the graph of the parent function f(x) = x2 to the graph of the function g(x)=(x−4)2+2?

Answer
A
−4
B
−2
C
2
D
4

Explanation

A quadratic in vertex form, g(x) = (x − h)² + k, is translated horizontally h units to the right. Here, g(x) = (x − 4)² + 2, so the horizontal translation is 4 units to the right. The correct choice is 4.
