A parabolic function f (x) = x2 - 4. Function g(x) is defined as g(x) = f (x) + 3. What is the equation of g(x) in terms of x?

Answer 1

g(x)= x^2-4+3 = x^2-1

Answer 2

Hello Shamiah,

g(x) = f(x) + 3

f(x) = x² - 4 so g(x) = x² - 4 + 3 = x² - 1

g(x) = x² - 1

Answer 3

g(x) = (x^2-4) + 3 = x^2 - 1
