Question

Shifting parent graphs to Graph Equations:

y=-2(x-3)^2+4

anonymous · Answer

I would assume you are to expand this and simplify

y = -2(x - 3)(x - 3) + 4
y = -2(x^2 - 6x + 9) + 4
y = -2x^2 + 12x - 18 + 4
y = -2x^2 + 12x - 14

the (-) slope tells us its upside down

the (x-3)  tells us we moved it 3 place to the right

()^2  tells us its a parabola

the +4 on the end says we moved it up 4 places

Okay but how do i simplify it

amistre64 · Answer

its already simplified in the form you gave us

anonymous · Answer

okay so the question that i have to answer is how do i put it in a graphing equation

amistre64 · Answer

like a graphing calcultor equation?

amistre64 · Answer

otherwise, it its got a y = something with an x, its good to graph :)
