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)

mk thanks

Start with a graph of f(x)
Assume c is positive
f(x) + c moves the graph up c units
f(x) - c moves the graph down c units
f(x + c) moves the graph left c units
f(x - c) moves the graph right c units
more to come.....

so C is like the variable h in the equation y=a(x-h)+k? because if so i have the rules for that in my notes but i wasn't sure it was the same thing...according to your reply though it is?

but even if thats so im still clueless about the last two....
