Question 1129102: 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).

compare the number of t-intercepts in the graph of f(t) = t^2 to the number of t-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).
-----
(t-8)^2 is a translation of 8 to the right of t^2.
----
f(t) = t^2 touchs the t-axis at t = 0
g(t) = (t-8)^2 touchs the t-axis at t = 8
