if you are graphing a function F(x)=x^2 what would f(x+4) would the graph be moving to the right 4 or to the left 4? help please

Question

anonymous · Answer

niether left 4 nor right for... it would be a new parabola...i think

anonymous · Answer

i have four different graphs to choose from the other three choices besides those two are flipped from the top of the graph to the bottom on the left side

anonymous · Answer

x^2 +16+8x

anonymous · Answer

other 2 i meant

anonymous · Answer

so it moves to the left 4

anonymous · Answer

as of your equation unless u flip it or something

amistre64 · Answer

(x+k)  "moves" the original graph by -k

amistre64 · Answer

just watch the difference in the vertex

amistre64 · Answer

y = x^2,  vertex is 0,0

y = (x+4)^2,  y = 0 when x=-4,  vertex is (-4,0)

anonymous · Answer

this looks something like the orginal before that give u f(x+4)

anonymous · Answer

would it end up being like this |dw:1373468102948:dw|
