Question 220 • Career Explorations - EL3401

The function f(x) = x2 is translated 7 units to the left and 3 units down to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)?

Answer
A
g(x) = (x − 7)2 − 3
B
g(x) = (x + 7)2 − 3
C
g(x) = (x − 3)2 − 7
D
g(x) = (x − 3)2 + 7

Explanation

A translation 7 units to the left replaces x with x + 7, giving (x + 7)². Moving the graph 3 units down subtracts 3, so g(x) = (x + 7)² − 3. Therefore, the correct choice is B, g(x) = (x + 7)² − 3.
