Given the function f(x) = 4(x + 1)2 − 3, indicate the shifts that will affect the location of the vertex and explain what effect they will have. use complete sentences ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tukk u know anything ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nincompoop can u help?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

absolutely y = a(x-h)^2 + k your vertex is (h,k)

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

(h, k) is used instead of (x, y) but they are the same coordinate system

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do i do?>

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

well if your k = -3 where will you find that in the graph? 3 points lower from zero correct?

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

zero being your level ground -3 would be three-levels below zero

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

so explain that

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

now let us look at the value of h

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

h = -1 is the same as x = -1 in the coordinate system so your graph got pushed to the left side by a unit point from zero
