Determine the equation of g(x) that results from translating the function f(x) = x2 + 5 upward 6 units.
To determine the equation of g(x), which is the result of translating the function f(x) = x^2 + 5 upward 6 units, we need to perform the translation on the given function.
When a function is translated vertically by a certain number of units, we can achieve this by adding or subtracting that number from the function. In this case, we want to translate upward by 6 units, so we will add 6 to the function f(x).
Therefore, the equation of g(x) can be determined as follows:
g(x) = f(x) + 6
g(x) = (x^2 + 5) + 6
g(x) = x^2 + 11
So, the equation of g(x) is g(x) = x^2 + 11.
