In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x^2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x) = -x^2 -5. Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(x) and its image g(x).
f(x) = x^2 has one x-intercept and g(x) = x^2 -7 has two x-intercepts. For f(x) = x^2 to equal g(x) = x^2 -7 you must traslate f(x) = x^2 down seven units.
