Question

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

y = (x-16)^2

Answer 1

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 2

Shift the graph of y= x^2 right 16 units.

Answer 3

right side by 16
