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

f(x+3)
f(x) + 3
f(3x)
3•f(x)

First you should put your function in vertex form $$y=a(x-h)^2+k$$
(h,k) is the vertex (the point where it starts)
a is the width or stretch.
