Give the name of the parent function and describe the transformation represented.

g (x) = x2 - 1

Name:

Transformation:

The parent function, here is

f (x) = x² which is upward opening parabola.

In order to get a graph of f (x) = x²-1, shift the parent function, f (x) = x² by + 1 unit downward. This is the transformation.
