Ntwo or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x) = (x-2)2 -3. be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(x) and its image g(x).

f(x) intersects  x-axis at one point (0 , 0)

g(x) intersects x-axis at two points (2-√3 , 0) , (2+√3 , 0)

g(x) is the image of f(x) when f(x) moved right 2 units and

moved down 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ f(x) = x²

∵ x-intercept means f(x) = 0

∴ x² = 0 ⇒ x = 0

∴ The parabola intersect x-axis at one point (0 , 0)

∵ g(x) = (x - 2)² - 3

∵ x-intercept means g(x) = 0

∴ (x - 2)² - 3 = 0

∴ (x -2)² = 3 ⇒ take square root for both sides

∴ (x - 2) = -√3 ⇒ x = 2 - √3

∴ (x - 2) = √3 ⇒ x = 2 + √3

∴ The parabola intersect x-axis at two points (2-√3 , 0) , (2+√3 , 0)

∵ f(x) = x² , g(x) = (x - 2)² - 3

∴ g(x) is the image of f(x) when :

   f(x) moved right 2 units and moved down 3 units

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.
