We want to match the given function with its graph. We will begin by noticing that the function is a of the form
y=a(x−h)2+k, where
h represents a horizontal and
k represents a vertical translation.
y=(x−1)2
In our case, we have
h=1. This means that the graph of
y=(x−1)2 is obtained by translating the graph of
y=x2 by
1 unit to the right.
Parent Function
Translation
Thus, we conclude that the correct answer is option B.
