Match each equation to how it changes the parent function y=x2
(x2 will be written as x^2) problem : y = (x+1)^2

ganeshie8 · Answer

what do u think

anonymous · Answer

i think it slides up but then again it could also flip down i think

anonymous · Answer

actually just checked my work and sliding up wont work

ganeshie8 · Answer

sliding UP/DOWN involve adding/subtracting a positive number directly to the "y value"

anonymous · Answer

and his problem doesnt so both are wong

anonymous · Answer

this not his

ganeshie8 · Answer

yes :) here, the +1 is attached to x
so that hints us that the graph slides either LEFT or RIGHT

anonymous · Answer

slides left right?

ganeshie8 · Answer

Yes !

f(x+k)  :  slides left by k units

anonymous · Answer

thought so cus it was adding x+1 not x-1

ganeshie8 · Answer

exactly ! if you subtract 1, then it would be sliding RIGHT side.

you may graph them and see... it would be fun :)
