Which function represents a parabola that is translated 2 units to the left and 6 units down from the parent function, f(x)=x^2

Respuesta :

Translation involves moving a function along its coordinates

The image of the function is [tex]g(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 6[/tex]

How to determine the new function

The parent function is given as:

[tex]f(x) = x^2[/tex]

When the function is translated 2 units left, we have:

[tex]f'(x) = (x + 2)^2[/tex]

When the function is translated 6 units down, we have:

[tex]f"(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 6[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]g(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 6[/tex]

Hence, the image of the function is [tex]g(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 6[/tex]
