Question

Describe how the graph of y= x^2 can be transformed to the graph of the given equation.

y = (x-4)^2-8

Answer 1

Shift the graph of y = x^2 right 4 units and then up 8 units.

Shift the graph of y = x^2 right 4 units and then down 8 units. i think it's this one

Shift the graph of y = x^2 left 4 units and then down 8 units.

Shift the graph of y = x^2 down 4 units and then left 8 units

Answer 2

What do you think?

Answer 3

2nd

Answer 4

third

Answer 5

two negative signs

Answer 6

@yahya90 That's not allowed.

@lornbeach
Here is x^2

Here is (x-4)^2-8

https://www.google.com/#safe=off&output=search&sclient=psy-ab&q=(x-4)%5E2-8&oq=(x-4)%5E2-8&gs_l=hp.12..0i30l3j0i5i30.1520.1520.0.2684.1.1.0.0.0.0.250.250.2-1.1.0....0.0..1c.2.20.psy-ab.ay8IgvzfkPE&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.49784469%2Cd.eWU%2Cpv.xjs.s.en_US.MpiVkF51mpA.O&fp=e417ef58a226dcb0&biw=1440&bih=771

Observe the shifts now.

Answer 8

y = A( Bx + C ) + D

C = horizontal shift, C > 0, to the left, C < 0, to the right
D = vertical shift, D > 0, up, D<0, down

Answer 9

@primeralph so it's the second one !

Answer 10

@lornbeach haha basically everyone is confirming you are correct :)

Answer 11

Thank youu (:
