Question

HELP PLEASE
If you shift the quadratic parent function, F(x) = x2, down 9 units, what is the equation of the new function?

Answer 1

f(x) = \(x^2\)

To shift anything DOWN by 9 units.

f(x) - a shifts it down by a units.
f(x) + a shifts it up by a units.
f(x-a) shifts it to the right by a units.
f(x+a) shifts it to the left by a units.

Now do you have the answer? :)
