Question

  1. what horizontal translation is applied to \\(y = x^2\\) if the translation image graph passes through the point \\((5, 16)\\)?

Explanation:

Formulate the translation equation

Using the Horizontal Translation and Function Transformations knowledge points

$$ y = (x - h)^2 $$

Substitute the given point

Using the Horizontal Translation knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Solve for the translation parameter

Using the Horizontal Translation knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Interpret the geometric translations

Using the Horizontal Translation knowledge point

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Answer:

A horizontal translation of 1 unit to the right, or 9 units to the right.
