Answer

please see image (graph of g(x) is red) .

Work Step by Step

1. Graph $f(x)=x^{2}$ ...opens up, vertex at (0,0), some points: $(0,0)$, $(\pm 1,1),\ (\pm 2,4)$. (graph: blue, dashed) Refer to Table 2.4 (page 279): 2. To graph $y=(x-2)^{2} =f(x-2)$ by shifting the graph of f to the right by 1 unit. ...some points: $(2+0,0)$, $(2\pm 1,1),\ (2\pm 2,4)$ (graph: green, dotted ) 3. To graph $g(x)=(x-2)^{2}+1 =f(x-2)+1$ by raising the green graph by 1 unit. ...some points: $(2+0,0+1)$, $(2\pm 1,1+1),\ (2\pm 2,4+1)$ (graph: red )
