Find g(x), where g(x) is the translation 8 units up of f(x)=x2. Write your answer in the form a(x–h)2+k, where a, h, and k are integers. g(x)=

Answer 1

g(x) = x² + 8 = (x - 0)² + 8

A translation of 8 units up is achieved by simply adding 8 to the original function.

f(x) = x² g(x) = f(x) + 8 = x² + 8
