Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown: f(x) = x2 g(x) = x2 + 8x + 16

In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted to match g(x)?
A. Left by 4 units
B. Right by 4 units
C. Left by 8 units
D. Right by 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor g(x)

(x+4)(x+4)

(x+4)^2

So f(x) needs to be shifted left by 4 units.

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).

if graphs are part of the problem statement, share them.   .

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i
