The function f(x) = x2 - 6x + 9 is shifted 5 units to the left to create g(x). what is g(x)?

g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In translation of functions, adding a constant to the domain values (x) of a function will move the graph to the left, while subtracting from the input of the function will move the graph to the right.

Given the function;

f(x) = x2 - 6x + 9

a shift 5 units to the left implies that we shall be adding the constant 5 to the x values of the function;

g(x) = f(x+5)

g(x) = (x+5)^2 - 6(x+5) + 9

g(x) = x^2 + 10x + 25 - 6x -30 + 9

g(x) = x^2 + 4x + 4

d

step-by-step explanation:

by observation, we can see that the the graph is simply the graph of y = |x| that has been shifted 4 units downwards and 3 units to the left.

we can recognize in choice d :

y = | x + 3 |   - 4 (rewriting in general form)

y = | x - (- 3) |   - 4

the "-4 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 4 units in the negative y direction

the "-3 " term means   that the graph has been shifted by 3 units in the negative x direction

this matches our observation of the graph described above.
