Answer:
f(x) is a parabola with a vertex at (0, 0) that opens up
g(x) is a parabola with a vertex at (0, 2) that opens up
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic equation: Â [tex]y = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]
The graph of a quadratic equation is a parabola. Â The value of [tex]a[/tex]determines its orientation.
If [tex]a>0[/tex] then the parabola opens upwards and its vertex is its minimum point. Â
If [tex]a<0[/tex] then the parabola opens downwards and its vertex is its maximum point.
Given:
⇒ g(x) = f(x) + 2
So the transformation of f(x) to g(x) is an upward shift of 2 units, or
a translation of f(x) by the vector [tex]\left(\begin{array}{ccc}0\\2\end{array}\right)[/tex].
Therefore, the y-coordinate of the vertex of g(x) will be 2 units more than the y-coordinate of the vertex of f(x).
Therefore,
