SOLUTION: Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below: f(x) = x2 g(x) = x2 - 20x + 100 In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted to obtain g(x)?

Question 940734: Functions f(x) and g(x) are shown below:
f(x) = x2
g(x) = x2 - 20x + 100
In which direction and by how many units should f(x) be shifted to obtain g(x)?

You can factor the second equation.

Compare that to f(x) to see the shift and how many units.
