Identify the vertex and y-intercept of the graph of the function translated 2 units left from the parent function f(x) = x².

vertex: ( ? , ? )
y-intercept: ?

Vertex is (-2, 0)

y-intercept is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the function translated 2 units left, we just need to substitute the 'x' in the equation by 'x+2':

f(x) = (x+2)^2 = x2 + 4x + 4

Then, to find the vertex, we can use the formula:

x_v = -b / 2a

x_v = -4 / 2 = -2

Now, finding the y_vertex, we have:

f(x_v) = (-2)^2 + 4*(-2) + 4 = 0

So the vertex is (-2, 0)

To find the y-intercept, we make x = 0 and then find f(x):

f(0) = 0 + 0 + 4 = 4

So the y-intercept is 4.
