5. What transformations change the graph of (f)x to the graph of g(x)? f(x) = x² ; g(x) = (x + 7)² + 9 (1 point)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the \(+7\) inside the parentheses means the graph will move to the left 7 units the \(+9\) outsides the parentheses moves it up 9 units left 7, up 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also tells you the vertex is \((-7,9)\)

So if they were negative is would be opposite? This confuses me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is confusing, because you think of plus as going to the right, but in fact since you add before you square, it is like moving the y axis to the right, makes the graph move to the left
