Transformations: @alyygirl Identify the graph: f(x) = (x - 2)2 - 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill take a pic of the graphs to the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so this graph is a transformation of the original function y = x Which looks like this,|dw:1404619759357:dw| We are going to perform the transformations of y = 2(x-2)-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The part of the graph that is (x-2) moves the graph to the Right two units.|dw:1404619909419:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When it is (x-#) it goes right, and when (x+#) it goes left: Opposite as you would think inside the ( )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh umm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so next the outside of the equation is y = 2(x-2) - 3 The -3 at the end makes it go down 3 units on the y-axis, |dw:1404620047671:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the 2 in front makes it steeper by 2x|dw:1404620168440:dw|
