Question

Please help! :o Explain how the graph of each given function is a transformation of the graph of y=x^2.
A. y=x^2-5
B. y=-2x^2
C. y=(x-5)^2
D. y=(-3x)^2

Answer 1

\(\bf y = A ( Bx + C )^n + D\)

A = shrinks or expands the parent graph by A factor
B = shrinks or expands the parent graph by \(B^n\) factor
C = horizontal shift, C > 0, to the left, C < 0, to the right
D = vertical shift, D > 0, up, D < 0, down

Answer 2

and so on
