Question 1055718: In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(t) = t^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(t) = (t – 8)^2.
Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(t) and its image g(t).

In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(t) = t^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of
g(t) = (t – 8)^2.
Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(t) and its image g(t).
-----
g(t) is f(t) shifted 8 units to the right.
------
Since f(0) = 0 the # of x intercepts in f(t) is 1 of multiplicity two
Since g(8) = 0 the # of x intercepts in g(t) is 1 of multiplicity two
