Question 5 • *Integrated Math II Full

Which translation maps the graph of the function f(x) = x2 onto the function g(x) = x2 − 6x + 6?

Answer
A
left 3 units, down 3 units
B
right 3 units, down 3 units
C
left 6 units, down 1 unit
D
right 6 units, down 1 unit

Explanation

Complete the square: x² − 6x + 6 = (x − 3)² − 3. The term (x − 3)² shifts the graph 3 units right, and −3 shifts it 3 units down, so the correct choice is right 3 units, down 3 units.
