Question

The graph below has the same shape as the graph of G(x) = x2, but it is shifted down three units and to the left two units. Complete its equation. Enter exponents using the caret (^); for example, enter x2 as x^2. Do not include "F(x) =" in your answer.

Answer 2

i tryed to do it on my own but didnt work and looked at examples and still didnt work.

Answer 3

hello ?

Answer 4

g(x)= x2 is an upward parabola with axis (0,0)... have u got that??

Answer 5

yea

Answer 6

if u put Y= y-3 ... and X= x ???

Answer 7

have you seen the picture

Answer 8

I could not see it...access denied...sad times

Answer 9

thtss weird it let me see it

Answer 10

ok

Answer 11

You can attach the image to the problem directly rather than linking it.

Answer 12

Ok, so the graph is the same as \(y = x^2\) But it's shifted down 3 units. So how will the y values of the graph relate to the y values of \(y=x^2\) for a particular value of x?

Answer 13

can i just have the answer just to see what you put tht i didnt put i had (x+-3)^2

Answer 14

If we call F(x) the y value of the function and G(x) = \(x^2\). What is F(x) in terms of G(x)?

Answer 15

idk , (x+1)^2

Answer 16

If x = 0, what will F(x) be?

Answer 17

0

Answer 18

Is that what your graph shows? Here's a better question. If H(x) is just had a parabola that looked exactly like \(x^2\) but was shifted down 3 units. What would H(0) be?

Answer 19

\(0^2 = 0,\) but our H(x) is shifted down 3 from this graph, so H(0) would be?

Answer 20

-3

Answer 21

And if x = 1?

Answer 22

What is \(G(x) = x^2 =?\) and what is our hypothetical H(x) ?

Answer 23

(1+-3)^2

Answer 24

No. If x=1, then \(G(x) = (1)^2 = 1\) And since H is still shifted down 3, we'd have H(x) = 1-3 = -2. So we can see that for any given value for x, H(x) = G(x) - 3

Answer 25

look i dont knoww this stuff , im just about to give im seriously

Answer 26

You're doing fine, but I'm trying to take it one step at a time and lead you to the concepts that will allow you to solve these quickly and easily. I think part of the problem is that you imagine that you just aren't going to be able to understand and therefore try to just guess at a solution to get it over with.

Answer 27

Do you have a little bit of time?

Answer 28

yess , alot

Answer 29

Ok. Lets start over then. Forget about this problem for a second. And lets take a look at a simpler problem.

Answer 30

If I have a function G(x) = x, What does that look like?

Answer 31

yess , alot

Answer 32

F(x)=x

Answer 33

No, G(x) = x. What does the graph of this look like?

Answer 34

I haven't said anything about F(x) yet ;) be patient =)

Answer 35

look idk , its crazzy i just need the answer so i can move on i know that your trying to help me and to get better at my math but i just need the answer

Answer 36

Getting the answer will not help you on the test.

Answer 37

it will .

Answer 38

You said you have time. Please also have patience also.

Answer 39

this is in a time thing so yeaa .

Answer 40

G(x) = x is just a line passing through the origin. When x = 0, G(x) = 0, when x = 1, G(x) = 1, and so on.

Answer 41

Right?

Answer 42

okay that was more simple next step

Answer 43

Now lets say we have another function F(x) that is the same shape (a straight line with a slope of 1) but it's not going through the origin. It is shifted down 3 units.

\(x = 0 \implies F(x) = ? \)
\(x = 1 \implies F(x) = ? \)

Answer 44

Given how I have discribed F, what will F(0) be?

Answer 45

If G(0) = 0, and F(0) is the same as G(0) but shifted down 3 units.. What is F(0)?

Answer 46

look im geting confused , this math is stressing mee outt , like really

Answer 47

Deep breath. If G(0) = 0, and F(0) is G(0) but shifted down 3 units, wouldn't F(0) = 0 - 3 = -3?

Answer 48

ive been said -3

Answer 49

You said -3 about something else. I said we were starting over with an easier problem.

Answer 50

What is F(1) ?

Answer 51

manee , can you just tell me the answer because ive been stuck on the same question for like an hour

Answer 52

If you are not interested in learning, I'm not interested in teaching. No I won't help you cheat.

Answer 53

then flutter you then lame
