Question 1073612: 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 +3)^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 +3)^2. Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(t) and its image g(t).
--------
f(t) = t^2 has 2 equal x-intercepts at x = 0
g(t) = (t+3)^2 has 2 equal x-intercepts at x = -3
----
g(t) is f(t) shifted 3 units to the left.
