To write g in terms of f using function notation, we can replace the x^2 term in f with (x - 0)^2 in
order to get the same form as g:

g(x) = f(x-0) + 6

Substituting the definition of f(x), we get:

g(x) = (x-0)^2 + 6

Therefore, we can write g in terms of f as:

g(x) = f(x-0) + 6
g(x) = x^2 + 6

2
To write g(x) in terms of the parent function f(x) = x^2, we need to perform the following
transformation:

g(x) = f(x) - 3

Therefore, we can write g(x) in terms of f(x) as:

g(x) = f(x) - 3 = x^2 - 3

a.
The given function is a transformation of the parent function f(x) = x^3 by a reflection about the
x-axis, a horizontal shift of 2 units to the right, and a vertical reflection.

Therefore, the parent function is f(x) = x^3.

b.
To write g in terms of f, we need to identify the parent function that g is related to and express it
in terms of that parent function.

We can see that g(x) is a transformation of the parent function f(x) = x^3. Specifically, g(x) is a
reflection of f(x) about the vertical axis and a translation of f(x) to the right by 2 units.

Using function notation, we can express g in terms of f as:

g(x) = -f(x-2)

Therefore, g(x) is a reflection of the graph of f(x) about the vertical axis and a translation of f(x)
to the right by 2 units.

a.
The parent function of g(x) is the absolute value function f(x) = |x|.

We can see that g(x) is a transformation of the absolute value function f(x) = |x| by shifting it
horizontally 1 unit to the right and vertically 5 units up. Therefore, the parent function is f(x) = |
x|.

b.
To write g(x) in terms of f(x), we need to identify the transformation that has been applied to the
parent function f(x) = |x|.

We can see that in g(x), the parent function f(x) has been shifted horizontally to the right by 1
unit and vertically upwards by 5 units.

So, we can write g(x) in terms of f(x) as:

g(x) = f(x - 1) + 5

where f(x) = |x|.

Therefore, g(x) is a transformation of the parent function f(x) = |x|, obtained by shifting the
graph 1 unit to the right and 5 units up.

a.
The parent function of g(x) is f(x) = √x.

To see this, note that g(x) can be written as:

g(x) = 2 √x = 2 * f(x)

So g(x) is a vertical stretch of f(x) by a factor of 2.

b.
The parent function for g(x) is f(x) = √x.

To write g(x) in terms of f(x) using function notation, we can make the
substitution u = √x, so that:

g(x) = 2u

Now we can express u in terms of x using the definition of u:

u = √x

Solving for √x, we get:

√x = u

Substituting this expression for √x into the equation for g(x), we get:

g(x) = 2u = 2√x

Therefore, using function notation, we can write g(x) in terms of f(x) as:

g(x) = 2f(x)
