Consider the parent quadratic function f(x) = x2. Give the equation of a function that represents a horizontal translation of the parent, that is, it has

For the function  f(x) = x²,  the function  f(x) = (x - h)²  represents a horizontal translation of  h  units.

For example:  f(x)  =  x²  has a vertex at  (0,0)

                       f(x)  =  (x - 3)²  has a vertex at (3,0)

                       f(x)  =  (x + 5)²  has a vertex at (-5,0)

All of these are congruent to each other and open upward.
