Question 7 • LUSD-Int Math 2(A) LT2 Rational and Irrational Numbers (A-G)

Which translation maps the vertex of the graph of the function f(x) = x2 onto the vertex of the function g(x) = x2 + 2x +1?

Answer
r
right 1 unit
l
left 1 unit
r
right 2 units
l
left 2 units

Explanation

The vertex of f(x) = x² is (0, 0). Rewrite g(x) = x² + 2x + 1 as (x + 1)², whose vertex is (-1, 0). Moving from (0, 0) to (-1, 0) is a translation left 1 unit, so the answer is left 1 unit.
