If f(x) = x2, which of the following describes the graph of f(x - 1)? a. the graph of f(x - 1) is a horizontal shift of f(x) = x2 one unit to the right. b. the graph of f(x - 1) is a vertical shift of f(x) = x2 one unit down. c. the graph of f(x - 1) is a vertical shift of f(x) = x2 one unit up. d. the graph of f(x - 1) is a horizontal shift of f(x) = x2 one unit to the left.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this, we can look at the vertical & horizontal translations of a parabola of the form  

When we replace x of the original function with (x-1), we have  . According to the rules, this means that the original function is shifted 1 unit right (horizontal shift).

Correct answer is A.

this is not the answer this is just a question. is this middle school math?

step-by-step explanation:

no this is a nonlinear negative
