***Please explain! thanks ;)

Answer 1

use the rule for f(x) becoming f(x+5)

Answer 2

so i get y=(x+5)^2+5(x+5)-2
?

Answer 3

yes, but what is the rule

Answer 4

idk :(

Answer 5

look at the first attachment you posted in the other question

Answer 6

do u mean this one?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

look at rule #3

Answer 9

if c>0, y=f(x+c) moves left c units
??that one?

Answer 10

and c is -2 right?

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

compare (x+c) with (x+5)

Answer 13

so 5 is c?

Answer 14

it is, which means?

Answer 15
