GAIN A MEDAL.

For each funtion, identify the horizontal translation of the parent function, f(x)= x^2 then graph the function
( please tell me what the graph would look like)

y= (x-4)^2

y=(x+3)^2

y=(x+1)^2

ok so lets start with how you do this so it will be simple for future homework. 

anything inside the parenthesis is your x axis so left to right. So y = (x-9)^2+2 means its either going left or right by 9. 

and anything on the outside to the right of the equation is going up or down. so in the example equation I gave you above its either going up or down by two. 

With me so far?

the parent function is f(x) = (x)^2
which is a parabola and looks kind of like this:
|dw:1383164230952:dw|
