Answer:

1)

The domain is

D.) All real numbers

2)

The correct answer is:

A.) Left by 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Ques 1)

The equation of a parabola is:

\(y=x^2-6x+1\)

The equation is a quadratic equation and we know that the polynomial function is defined for all of the x i.e. for all the real values.

Hence, the domain is:

All real numbers.

Ques 2)

Functions f(x) and g(x) are given by:

\(f(x)=x^2\)

and \(g(x)=x^2+8x+16\\\\i.e.\\\\\\g(x)=(x+4)^2\)

i.e. the function g(x) could be written as:

\(g(x)=f(x+4)\)

We know that the translation of the original function f(x) to f(x+k) is a shift of the function f(x) k units to the right or left depending whether k is negative or positive respectively.

Here k=4>0

Hence, the shift is 4 units to the left.
