Answer 1

one x-intercept.

Transformation: shift to the right 8 units.

Explanation:

The parent function is
`f(t)=t^(2)`

To find the number of x-intercepts, we equate the function to zero.

`\implies t^(2)=0`

`\implies t=0`

There is only one x-intercept at t=0.

The transformed function is

`g(t)=(t-8)^2`

This function is obtained shifting the parent function 8 units to the right.

The x-intercept will now be at t=8.

Hence the image function also has one x-intercept.
