Question

Given the function k(x) = x2, compare and contrast how the application of a constant, c, affects the graph. The application of the constant must be discussed in the following manners:
k(x + c)
k(x) + c
k(cx)
c • k(x)

Answer 1

hi,
k( x + c)
shift the graph k(x) = x2 a distance "c" units to the left

k(x) + c
shift the graph k(x) = x2 a distance "c" units upward

k(cx)
compress the graph of k(x) =x2 horizontally by a factor of c

c • k(x)
strech the graph of k(x) =x2 vertically by a factor of c


hope this will help ya!!
