Select the correct answer. The parent square root function, F, is transformed to create function g.
g(x) = Vx+3-4
Which statement is true?

a. the graph of f is translated 3 unities to the right and 4 units up

b. the graph of f is translated 4 units to the right and 3 units down

c. the graph of f is translated 3 units to the left and 4 units down

d. the graph of f is translated 4 units to the left and 3 units up

I think accroding to wha t i learned and found it is either a, b, c, d?

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.

hope this
