describe how the graph of the equation relates to the graph of y = x².

f(x) = (x - 2)²

○ a translation 2 units to the left
○ a translation 2 units down
○ a translation 2 units to the right
○ a translation 2 units up

Explanation:

For quadratic function transformations, given the parent function $y=x^2$, the form $f(x)=(x-h)^2$ represents a horizontal shift. When $h>0$, the graph shifts $h$ units to the right. Here, $h=2$, so the graph shifts 2 units right.

Answer:

a translation 2 units to the right
