Question

The vertex form of a function is g(x) = (x – 3)^2 + 9. How does the graph of g(x) compare to the graph of the function f(x) = x^2?

A. g(x) is shifted 3 units left and 9 units up.
B. g(x) is shifted 3 units right and 9 units up.
C. g(x) is shifted 9 units left and 3 units down.
D. g(x) is shifted 9 units right and 3 units down.

Answer 1

B because with the formula f(x)=(x-b)^2+a a is units shifted up and b is units shifted right.
