The graph shows the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function f(x).

Sanjay begins to correctly graph the function f(x) = (x + 1)2 – 3. Based on the axis of symmetry and the vertex, which graph could be Sanjay’s?




The graph of g(x) is a translation of the function f(x) = x2. The vertex of g(x) is located 5 units above and 7 units to the right of the vertex of f(x). Which equation represents g(x)?
On a coordinate plane, two parabolas open up. The solid-line parabola, labeled f of x, goes through (negative 2, 4), has a vertex at (0, 0), and goes through (2, 4). The dashed-line parabola, labeled g of x, goes through (negative 6, 10), has a vertex at (negative 4, 6), and goes through (negative 2, 10).

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?
