Question

Using the graph for f(x) = x2 as a guide, describe the transformations.
g(x) = (x + 3)2 - 2

a.g is f translated 3 units down and 2 units left
b.g is f translated 3 units up and 2 units right
c.g is f translated 3 units left and 2 units down
d.g is f translated 3 units right and 2 units down

Answer 1

(x-h)^2 +k

shift h units to the right, and up k units

Answer 2

if h is neg, the shift is to the left
if k is neg, the shift is down

Answer 3

thank you,
