Which answer describes the transformation of f(x)=x2−1 to g(x)=(x−1)2−1 ?

a vertical translation 1 unit up

a horizontal translation 1 unit to the left

a vertical translation 1 unit down

a horizontal translation 1 unit to the right

The answer that describes the transformation f(x) tog(x) is:

               a horizontal translation 1 unit to the right

We are given a parent function f(x) as:

and the transformed function g(x) is given by:

We know that if f(x) is transformed by the rule f(x+a) then the transformation is either a shift ''a'' units to the left or to the right depending on a is positive or negative respectively.

Here we  have: a= -1

This means that the shift is to the right by 1 units.

In other words we may say that the transformation is a horizontal translation 1 units to the right.

answer: it actually depends on which is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable. let us say we're looking at a linear equation. y=2x+3. we theoretically could switch the equation to be x=(y-3)/2 and it would be the same line. so either a causes b or it can be that b causes a. so technically the answer is false
