Please help I do not understand whatsoever!! I am not asking you to do my work I just need to understand but I don’t. I am not a math type!?
In two or more complete sentences, compare the number of x-intercepts in the graph of f(x) = x2 to the number of x-intercepts in the graph of g(x) = -x2 -5. Be sure to include the transformations that occurred between the parent function f(x) and its image g(x).

Notice that g(x) NEVER = 0 (-x² never = +5) so it has zero x axis intercepts (where y = g(x) = 0).
But f(x) = x² = 0 when x = 0 so it has one x-intercept
note : g(x) ≤ - 5 ===> no intercepts....while f(x) = x² ≥ 0...one intercept
