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

what do u think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually just checked my work and sliding up wont work

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and his problem doesnt so both are wong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this not his

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slides left right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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