Chemistry homework help. ##f(x) = x^2-9##
The parent function is translated ##(0¦(-9))##
##(0¦(-9))## is usually written as a column vector.
More generally if ##f(x##) is transformed to ##f(x)±k##, the new function is ##f(x)+k## or ##f(x)-k##
eg ##f(x) = 3cos 2x## is transformed to ##f(x)-4##,
the new function is ##3cos2x -4##
